Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 89.7% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest.

$1,000,000in research payments, 2019–2025

Across 1 payment — averaging $1,000,000 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.

What the payments were for

  • Food & beverage$215100%

Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.

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.

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

$215 in reported general payments places this provider in the 70th percentile of 4,983 internal medicine providers in Massachusetts.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$4,722
Medicare patients
16
Services billed
36

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.
