Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 46 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Chiesi USA, Inc. at 37.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $301 and has fallen 88.5% since, to $35 in 2025. Among anesthesiology 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$52,451
Medicare patients
187
Services billed
329

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.
