Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $28,775 of the $44,880 with a category attached, or 64.1%. Medical Device Business Services, Inc. accounts for 65.3% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $18,807 and has fallen 96.2% since, to $709 in 2025. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in CA 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.

How this compares
$44,880 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 3,537 diagnostic radiology providers in California.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
