Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (59.5%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 72.6% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $50,265, 7.9 times the $6,367 reported in 2019. Among neurology clinicians in MI 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.
Across 177 payments — averaging $667.46 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- Bayer$27K
- Genentech, Inc.$2K

- plus $536 from 5 others
Across 80 payments — averaging $4628.62 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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
$118,141 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 652 neurology providers in Michigan.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
