Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (57.4%), food and beverage and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 42 manufacturers reported payments, led by Philips North America LLC at 25.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $30,785 and has fallen 68.4% since, to $9,713 in 2025. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in MI 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.

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

$51,834 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 760 cardiovascular disease providers in Michigan.

Medicare billing

Services billed

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.
