Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $8,037 of the $9,545 with a category attached, or 84.2%. It is spread thinly across 30 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.

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.

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

$9,545 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 257 otolaryngology providers in Michigan.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$38,759
Medicare patients
170
Services billed
494

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.
