Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $5,340 of the $6,622 with a category attached, or 80.6%. Biomerieux Inc accounts for 89.6% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $4,603 and has fallen 71.2% since, to $1,326 in 2024. Among critical care medicine clinicians in KY 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 17 payments — averaging $389.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares

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.
