Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — other (49.2%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 28 manufacturers reported payments, led by Angiodynamics, Inc. at 52.3% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $7,277, more than ten times the $509 reported in 2020. Among vascular & interventional radiology clinicians in AR 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$1,686,929

Medicare patients

1,818

Services billed

70,194

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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
