Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $773,005 of the $773,005 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Merck accounts for 98.0% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $350,860 and has fallen 99.6% since, to $1,500 in 2024. Among diagnostic radiology 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.

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.
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
$773,005 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 893 diagnostic radiology providers in New Jersey.
