Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (57.9%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Covidien LP at 25.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $426 and has fallen 64.8% since, to $150 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for surgery clinicians in NJ, where the typical reported total is $1,257.
Across 17 payments — averaging $74.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Covidien LP | 1 | $325 |
| Davol Inc. | 2 | $313 |
| Boston Scientific | 2 | $175 |
| Medtronic | 4 | $155 |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 2 | $140 |
| BD | 2 | $50 |
| Misonix Inc | 1 | $45 |
| Stryker | 2 | $38 |
| Innocoll Pharmaceuticals Limited | 1 | $18 |
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.
- AXIOS$150
- GATTEX$125
- Phasix Mesh$125
How this compares
$1,259 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 593 surgery providers in New Jersey.
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.
