Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.3%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 47.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $8,317 and has fallen 71.0% since, to $2,412 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in PR, where the typical reported total is $31,516.

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
$31,964
Medicare patients
57
Services billed
195

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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.

Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs

These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
Johnson & JohnsonXarelto$101$71,067118 claims

Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 50th percentile of 22 clinical cardiac electrophysiology providers in Puerto Rico.
