Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 129 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 38 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 129 payments — averaging $28.28 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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.
- GORE TAG Conformable Thoracic Endoprosthesis$170
- TE7 MAX$155
- TE X$155
- ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System$150
- S.M.A.R.T. CONTROL Self-Expanding Nitinol Stent$101

How this compares
$3,648 in reported general payments places this provider in the 55th percentile of 104 vascular surgery providers in Maryland.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| ClopidogrelClopidogrel Bisulfate | 21 | $566 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
