Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $273 of the $370 with a category attached, or 73.8%. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Edwards Lifesciences at 49.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $214, 5.4 times the $40 reported in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for cardiovascular disease clinicians in PA, where the typical reported total is $1,447.
Across 8 payments — averaging $46.21 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Edwards Lifesciences$182
- Novo Nordisk$97
- Abbott$45
- Heartflow, Inc.$27
- E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C.$19
Across 31 payments — averaging $7793.52 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C.$219K
- Alnylam Pharmaceuticals Inc.$23K
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$27374%
- Education$9726%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Edwards Lifesciences | 1 | $182 |
| Novo Nordisk | 3 | $97 |
| Abbott | 2 | $45 |
| Heartflow, Inc. | 1 | $27 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 1 | $19 |
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.
How this compares
$370 in reported general payments places this provider in the 25th percentile of 1,250 cardiovascular disease 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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| CamzyosMavacamten | 110 | $877,801 |
| EliquisApixaban | 13 | $11,554 |
| Bisoprolol Fumarate | 38 | $1,179 |
| Metoprolol Succinate | 31 | $636 |
| Losartan Potassium | 23 | $629 |
| Verapamil ErVerapamil Hcl | 16 | $467 |
| Atorvastatin Calcium | 22 | $347 |
| Diltiazem 24hr Er (Cd)Diltiazem Hcl | 19 | $336 |

| Metoprolol Tartrate | 11 | $52 |
| Clonidine Hcl | 13 | $51 |
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.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C.Camzyos | $19 | $877,801110 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 25th percentile of 1,250 cardiovascular disease providers in Pennsylvania.
