Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.9%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Merck at 49.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $13,321 and has fallen 95.9% since, to $551 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in CO 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.
Across 25 payments — averaging $1157.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 16 | $14,311 |
| Actelion Pharmaceuticals, Ltd | 5 | $11,221 |
| Janssen Research & Development, LLC | 2 | $2,100 |
| Bayer | 1 | $1,290 |
| Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. | 1 | $24 |
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.
How this compares
$28,945 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 38 pediatric cardiology providers in Colorado.
