Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Abbott accounts for 83.3% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,086 and has fallen 78.5% since, to $234 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology clinicians in IL, where the typical reported total is $11,038.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$40,133

Medicare patients

109

Services billed

434

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.
