Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (47.0%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 99.2% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,863 and has fallen 98.0% since, to $37 in 2025. Among anesthesiology clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 29 payments — averaging $167.42 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Edwards Lifesciences$5K
- Medline Industries LP$37
Across 5 payments — averaging $53,946 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Edwards Lifesciences$270K
What the payments were for
- Consulting fees$1,00021%

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Edwards Lifesciences | 28 | $4,819 |
| Medline Industries LP | 1 | $37 |
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.
- HemoSphere$1,418
How this compares
$4,855 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 2,015 anesthesiology providers in Pennsylvania.
Medicare billing
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.
