Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,167 of the $2,476 with a category attached, or 87.5%. It is spread thinly across 38 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. That places this record below the midpoint for medical oncology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $8,890.

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

$2,476 in reported general payments places this provider in the 25th percentile of 507 medical oncology providers in Florida.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$371,381
Medicare patients
124
Services billed
19,332

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.
