Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (52.0%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 33 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 35.1% of the total.
Across 512 payments — averaging $56.17 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Boston Scientific$10K
- Medtronic$6K
- Abbott$4K
- Impulse Dynamics (USA) Inc.$4K
- Biosense Webster, Inc.$1K
- Medical Device Business Services, Inc.$851
- plus $2K from 27 others
Across 215 payments — averaging $3803.51 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Medtronic$593K
- Boston Scientific$195K
- Abbott$29K

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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
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

| EliquisApixaban | 191 | $199,041 |

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| PfizerEliquis | $69 | $199,041191 claims |
| Johnson & JohnsonXarelto | $134 | $75,44587 claims |
| Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLCMultaq | $101 | $59,22646 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 70th percentile of 102 clinical cardiac electrophysiology providers in New Jersey.
