Industry payments (Open Payments)

Fewer than 11 payment records totaling $62.06 in 2025

Drug and medical device companies must report certain payments to doctors and some other clinicians to CMS, such as meals, travel, speaking fees or research funding.

It shows reported financial ties between this clinician and companies. You can ask your clinician about them.

These records are submitted by drug and medical device companies, and a reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper.

General: payments not tied to research, such as meals, travel, consulting or speaking fees.

A reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper. Research payments can go to a hospital or university for a study the clinician leads, not to the clinician personally. Clinicians can dispute records with the company that reported them.

May accept Medicare assignment

CMS data show this clinician may accept Medicare assignment. Clinicians who do not always accept assignment can decide case by case.

Ask the office before your visit. If a clinician does not accept assignment for a service, they can charge up to 15% more than the Medicare-approved amount, and you may be asked to pay the full amount at the visit.

Medicare assignment applies to Original Medicare. It does not tell you whether the clinician is in a Medicare Advantage plan's network, accepts other insurance, or is taking new patients.
