Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (52.8%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 35.5% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $14,919, more than ten times the $626 reported in 2019. Among gastroenterology clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.

How this compares

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$160,264
Medicare patients
432
Services billed
937

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.
