Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by other: $1,575 of the $1,729 with a category attached, or 91.1%. Angiodynamics, Inc. accounts for 91.1% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2023 is the largest year on record at $1,575, more than ten times the $142 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for surgery clinicians in DC, where the typical reported total is $1,281.
Across 10 payments — averaging $172.87 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Angiodynamics, Inc. | 1 | $1,575 |
| Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. | 4 | $69 |
| Tactile Systems Technology Inc | 3 | $48 |
| Shire North American Group Inc | 1 | $19 |
| Arbor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $17 |
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.
- VenaCure EVLT$1,575
How this compares
$1,729 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 117 surgery providers in District of Columbia.
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.
