Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (48.5%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. at 40.5% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $19,609, more than ten times the $145 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in MN 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.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

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.

How this compares

$35,646 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 826 optometrist providers in Minnesota.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$18,008
Medicare patients
65
Services billed
155

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.
