Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.8%), consulting fees and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. United Therapeutics Corporation accounts for 84.7% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest.
Across 80 payments — averaging $39.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- Insmed, Inc.$182

What the payments were for
- Consulting fees$1,25040%
- Food & beverage$1,84659%
- Education$441%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| United Therapeutics Corporation | 57 | $2,660 |
| Insmed, Inc. | 11 | $182 |
| Boehringer Ingelheim | 1 | $116 |
| Actelion Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. | 2 | $37 |
| Abbott | 2 | $35 |
| ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) | 2 | $31 |
| AstraZeneca | 2 | $27 |
| Pfizer | 1 | $23 |
| Scpharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $16 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $13 |
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
$3,140 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 97 clinical nurse specialist providers in Ohio.
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.
