Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (40.9%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.1%. 2025 is the largest year on record at $28,199, more than ten times the $527 reported in 2019. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in MO 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.

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.

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

$67,118 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 762 diagnostic radiology providers in Missouri.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$70,910
Medicare patients
341
Services billed
839

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.
