Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by education: $71,643 of the $116,805 with a category attached, or 61.3%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 89.0% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $57,302, more than ten times the $125 reported in 2019. Among pulmonary disease clinicians in MA 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.

Who reported the general payments

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$67,542
Medicare patients
146
Services billed
561

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.
