Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (50.5%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Coloplast at 53.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,225 and has fallen 80.4% since, to $631 in 2025.
Across 75 payments — averaging $90.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Across 2 payments — averaging $8328.75 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Boston Scientific$17K
What the payments were for
- Travel & lodging$3,31149%
- Food & beverage$3,44551%

Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

| Boston Scientific | 28 | $1,339 |

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

- Da Vinci Surgical System$1,250
- AMS$230
- LITHO 150$199
- AquaBeam Robotic System$140
- LithoVue$116

How this compares
$6,818 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 550 urology providers in Illinois.
Medicare billing
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.
