Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (42.4%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 52.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $23,963, 5.2 times the $4,635 reported in 2023. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in WI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 42 payments — averaging $809.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Boston Scientific$18K
- GE HealthCare$11K
- Cook Incorporated$5K

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Boston Scientific | 29 | $17,890 |
| GE HealthCare | 7 | $10,986 |
| Cook Incorporated | 3 | $4,999 |
| Cook Medical LLC | 2 | $78 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $38 |
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.
- GENERAL - THERAPIES$7,614
- General Therapies PI$1,613
- ACCOLADE SR$167
How this compares
$33,991 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 747 diagnostic radiology providers in Wisconsin.
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.
