Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.0% of the total across 44 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 48.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $864 and has fallen 80.2% since, to $171 in 2025. Among emergency medicine clinicians in PR 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

$2,677

Medicare patients

Services billed

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.

Most prescribed under Part D

Drug	Claims	Cost to plans & patients
Diclofenac Potassium	43	$1,052
CefuroximeCefuroxime Axetil	21	$567
Methylprednisolone	27	$267
Meclizine Hcl	13	$176
Famotidine	27	$137
