CMS records that this person may appear in Open Payments under more than one profile. The figures above are the profile it holds the most money against; money reported under another profile is not in them. That is the publisher’s own caveat about its own record, and it is why this page does not describe these totals as everything this doctor was paid.

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.

Medicare prescribing

- Ophthalmology
- Prescriber type
- As CMS classifies this prescriber.
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.
