Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $309,343 of the $419,965 with a category attached, or 73.7%. 60 manufacturers reported payments, led by Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 34.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $101,453 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $1,243 in 2025. Among hematology & oncology clinicians in CA 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.

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
$1,528,008
Medicare patients
232
Services billed
49,884

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.

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.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Genentech USA, Inc.Alecensa$52,183$376,97819 claims
AstraZenecaTagrisso$31,623$256,02916 claims
Astellas Pharma US IncXtandi$271$174,38013 claims
PfizerEliquis$1,999$17,69829 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 95th percentile of 1,363 hematology & oncology providers in California.
