What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $50,750 of the $67,682 with a category attached, or 75.0%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Stryker. 2025 is the largest year on record at $27,503, more than ten times the $1,804 reported in 2019. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in CT 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$287,582

Medicare patients

521

Services billed

3,960

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.
