Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $31,844 of the $48,616 with a category attached, or 65.5%. Boston Scientific accounts for 88.4% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $21,554 and has fallen 96.8% since, to $679 in 2025. Among gastroenterology clinicians in WA 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$79,334

Medicare patients

190

Services billed

504

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.
