Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 16 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by AstraZeneca at 37.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $260, 6.0 times the $44 reported in 2022. Among family practice clinicians in NY 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.
Across 16 payments — averaging $21.74 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

| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| AstraZeneca | 6 | $129 |
| Pfizer | 3 | $68 |
| Novo Nordisk | 2 | $44 |
| Eisai Inc. | 1 | $26 |

How this compares
$348 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 792 family practice providers in New York.
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.
