Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,000 of the $1,597 with a category attached, or 62.6%. Boston Scientific accounts for 67.2% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among family clinicians in ME 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.
Across 26 payments — averaging $61.42 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Boston Scientific | 6 | $1,074 |
| Biosense Webster, Inc. | 2 | $85 |
| Abiomed | 1 | $83 |
| Shockwave Medical, Inc | 1 | $62 |
| Biotronik Inc. | 3 | $61 |
| Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 2 | $44 |
| ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) | 2 | $36 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 2 | $31 |
| Merck | 2 | $30 |
| Boehringer Ingelheim | 1 | $24 |
| Novo Nordisk | 1 | $19 |
| Convatec Inc. | 1 | $18 |
| Cardiva Medical, Inc. | 1 | $17 |
| Novartis | 1 | $14 |
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
$1,597 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 545 family providers in Maine.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Cephalexin | 16 | $48 |
| Colchicine | 11 | $37 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
