What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,407 of the $4,767 with a category attached, or 71.5%. Abbott accounts for 60.2% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,981 and has fallen 76.4% since, to $467 in 2025.

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.
