Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,426 of the $7,025 with a category attached, or 63.0%. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Cvrx, Inc. at 52.0% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $4,171, more than ten times the $128 reported in 2023. Among adult health clinicians in NJ 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 141 payments — averaging $49.82 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

| Cvrx, Inc. | 22 | $3,655 |
| Abbott | 17 | $1,318 |
| Merck | 16 | $353 |
| AstraZeneca | 14 | $318 |
| Novartis | 16 | $218 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 9 | $190 |
| Boston Scientific | 3 | $189 |
| Bridgebio Pharma, Inc. | 8 | $151 |

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.
- Barostim Neo System$3,259
- CARDIOMEMS$916
- VERQUVO$227
- FUROSCIX$120
- FARXIGA$118
How this compares
$7,025 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,135 adult health providers in New Jersey.
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
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| JardianceEmpagliflozin | 26 | $35,259 |
| EntrestoSacubitril/Valsartan | 22 | $24,981 |
| FarxigaDapagliflozin Propanediol | 15 | $17,301 |
| EliquisApixaban | 16 | $16,788 |

| Carvedilol | 21 | $225 |
| Atorvastatin Calcium | 19 | $193 |
| Spironolactone | 12 | $85 |
| Furosemide | 15 | $35 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Boehringer IngelheimJardiance | $115 | $35,25926 claims |
| NovartisEntresto | $218 | $24,98122 claims |
| AstraZenecaFarxiga | $318 | $17,30115 claims |
| PfizerEliquis | $30 | $16,78816 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 95th percentile of 1,135 adult health providers in New Jersey.
