What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (41.5%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 76.5% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,321, 2.6 times the $1,254 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in OH, where the typical reported total is $17,892.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$218,092

Medicare patients

722

Services billed

3,047

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.
