Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 11 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Vericel Corporation at 27.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $336 and has fallen 52.2% since, to $161 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for surgical critical care clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $991.
Across 11 payments — averaging $68.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

| Smith+Nephew | 3 | $189 |

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

- RIBFIX BLU ADVANTAGE$108
How this compares
$751 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 36 surgical critical care providers in Tennessee.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
