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
Abbott	14	$813
Boston Scientific	1	$150
Edwards Lifesciences	2	$76
GE HealthCare	2	$32
Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc.	1	$15

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$146,840

Medicare patients

845

Services billed

3,002

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.
