Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (41.6%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Abbott accounts for 68.1% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $5,873 and has fallen 91.1% since, to $520 in 2025. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation clinicians in MN 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

$120,720

Medicare patients

233

Services billed

15,936

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.
