Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $3,000 of the $4,772 with a category attached, or 62.9%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 63.2% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $3,826 and has fallen 97.2% since, to $107 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in PA 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 64 payments — averaging $74.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$4,772 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,711 obstetrics & gynecology providers in Pennsylvania.
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
