Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $17,765 of the $28,570 with a category attached, or 62.2%. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Endogastric Solutions, Inc at 36.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $14,870 and has fallen 69.0% since, to $4,609 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in MD 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

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.

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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Omeprazole | 12 | $246 |
| Ondansetron OdtOndansetron | 50 | $177 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 56 | $144 |
| Pantoprazole Sodium | 13 | $143 |
