Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — other (34.3%), ownership interests and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 61.3% of it on its own, with 26 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $5,527 and has fallen 94.0% since, to $331 in 2025. Among radiation oncology clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 113 payments — averaging $175.95 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$19,882 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 397 radiation oncology providers in New York.
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
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

| Tamsulosin Hcl | 78 | $552 |
| Procto-Med HcHydrocortisone | 22 | $345 |
| Lidocaine Hcl ViscousLidocaine Hcl | 14 | $328 |
