What this record shows

Across 197 payments — averaging $66.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- Shockwave Medical, Inc$422
- Boston Scientific$320

Across 11 payments — averaging $5465.40 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.
- Shockwave Medical, Inc$60K
What the payments were for
- Travel & lodging$5,68843%
- Food & beverage$7,39956%

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.

How this compares
$13,128 in reported general payments places this provider in the 70th percentile of 187 interventional cardiology providers in Michigan.
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.
