Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,015 of the $1,315 with a category attached, or 77.2%. It is spread thinly across 8 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $830, more than ten times the $31 reported in 2019. Among emergency medicine 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$109,207

Medicare patients

628

Services billed

974

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.
