What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,534 of the $2,136 with a category attached, or 71.8%. Medtronic accounts for 91.6% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $808 and has fallen 52.6% since, to $383 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for pain medicine clinicians in WA, where the typical reported total is $1,979.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$82,652
Medicare patients
184
Services billed
1,361

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.
