What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $174 of the $274 with a category attached, or 63.5%. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Comsort, Inc at 36.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $100 and has fallen 51.3% since, to $49 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in PA, where the typical reported total is $2,187.
Across 8 payments — averaging $34.25 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Comsort, Inc | 1 | $100 |
| Boston Scientific | 3 | $97 |
| Procept Biorobotics Corporation | 1 | $27 |
| Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $22 |
| Rochester Medical Corporation | 1 | $15 |
| Axonics, Inc. | 1 | $14 |
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.
- KEYTRUDA$100
How this compares
$274 in reported general payments places this provider in the 15th percentile of 596 urology 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.
