Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 5 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Atricure, Inc. at 30.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $56 and has fallen 78.9% since, to $12 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for cardiovascular disease clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $2,302.

How this compares
$109 in reported general payments places this provider in the 10th percentile of 423 cardiovascular disease providers in Arizona.
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.
