Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.4% of the total across 977 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 60 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 37.2% of the total. Among pain medicine clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.

How this compares

$18,728 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 294 pain medicine providers in Pennsylvania.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$63,846
Medicare patients
274
Services billed
691

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.
