Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,492 of the $3,864 with a category attached, or 64.5%. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 25.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,066 and has fallen 94.1% since, to $122 in 2025. Among anesthesiology clinicians in GA 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

$51,915

Medicare patients

Services billed

288

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.
