Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 1 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.. That places this record below the midpoint for infectious disease clinicians in MA, where the typical reported total is $42.

Who reported the general payments

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$51,887
Medicare patients
142
Services billed
438

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.
