Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (51.1%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Biotronik Inc. accounts for 84.8% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $23,267 and has fallen 88.7% since, to $2,627 in 2025. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in MI 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.

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

$48,222 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 760 cardiovascular disease providers in Michigan.
