Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.3%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 41 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.4%. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $18,488 and has fallen 83.8% since, to $2,997 in 2025. Among thoracic surgery (cardiothoracic vascular surgery) clinicians in NV with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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

$53,635 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 41 thoracic surgery (cardiothoracic vascular surgery) providers in Nevada.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$144,305
Medicare patients
138
Services billed
748

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.
