Through program year 2023, Thomas Johnson of Saint Cloud, MN is reported in the CMS Open Payments database as having received $251 across 8 general payments and $0 in research payments paid to them.

No combined total General, research and ownership are kept apart. Each is reported under its own rules, and ownership is not money that moved at all but the value of a stake held. A meal, a clinical trial grant and a shareholding do not add up to anything meaningful, so this site does not add them.

General payments for this record sit in the 29th percentile of Optometrist, Corneal and Contact Management profiles with reported payments. Percentile describes the distribution, not the conduct.

A drug with fewer than 11 claims for this prescriber is not published, so a missing drug does not mean zero. The medians are for the 27,653 Part D prescribers listed as Optometry; they describe a distribution and say nothing about conduct.

What this means

U.S. law requires drug and medical device manufacturers to report payments and transfers of value they make to physicians and teaching hospitals. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publishes that record each year. This page shows what was reported about this person, and nothing else.

An ownership interest is different from the other two. It is not a payment: it is a stake — shares, options, a partnership holding — that a physician or an immediate family member held in a manufacturer during that year. The figure shown is what the stake was reported to be worth.

Research payments frequently pass through a clinician to the institution running a trial, and rarely represent personal income. They should be read differently from general payments.
