Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 12 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by GE HealthCare at 34.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $83 and has fallen 73.9% since, to $22 in 2025.

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.

|---|---|---|
| GE HealthCare | 4 | $66 |
| Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. | 4 | $59 |
| Fujifilm Healthcare Americas Corporation | 1 | $23 |

| Merit Medical Systems Inc | 1 | $10 |
How this compares
$193 in reported general payments places this provider in the 70th percentile of 174 diagnostic radiology providers in New Mexico.
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.
