Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 61 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 80.3% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,295, more than ten times the $96 reported in 2019.

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
Medtronic	52	$2,025
Boston Scientific	5	$215
Amgen	1	$146
SPR Therapeutics, Inc	1	$96
Globus Medical	2	$41

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$198,868

Medicare patients

546

Services billed

2,772

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.
