Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $41,716 of the $48,505 with a category attached, or 86.0%. AbbVie accounts for 98.5% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $19,839 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $27 in 2025. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation clinicians in CA 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.
Across 99 payments — averaging $489.95 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
