General payments

$4,233

135 separate payments. What they were, as CMS records them, is below.

$0

Funding for a study, usually paid to an institution with this doctor named on it. Not added to general payments, and not income.

Ownership and investment

The value of a stake this doctor or an immediate family member held.

0

Disputed

This doctor has contested none of the payments reported about them.

What the payments were

Each payment as the manufacturer categorized it when reporting it to CMS, across 2019–2025. Together they are the general payments above. A category is the reporter’s, and nothing in the record says a payment in any of them was improper.

By program year

CMS reports a program year at a time and also publishes its own total across them, which is what the figures above are. These rows are that total taken apart, not a second set of payments.

Optometry

Prescriber type

As CMS classifies this prescriber. Credentials: OD.

A blank is not a zero. CMS withholds a value between 1 and 10, and withholds the next lowest alongside it so the first cannot be worked out by subtraction — so a withheld figure is not even evidence that the number was small. Rows for ten or fewer claims are removed from the file altogether, which is why the parts of a total can be withheld while the total is published.
