Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.9% of the total across 263 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 34.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,056, 2.0 times the $1,019 reported in 2019. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$147,516

Medicare patients

493

Services billed

1,325

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

Gabapentin	26	$391
Methylprednisolone	11	$52

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
