Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 30 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 73.6% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $330, more than ten times the $29 reported in 2022. Among nurse anesthetist, certified registered clinicians in ME with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 30 payments — averaging $21.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Oxycodone Hcl | 28 | $566 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 14 | $529 |
| Pregabalin | 20 | $392 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 25 | $201 |
| Tizanidine Hcl | 23 | $136 |
