Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (47.8%), other and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 49.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $38,781 and has fallen 86.8% since, to $5,126 in 2025. Among vascular surgery clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$373,277

Medicare patients

114

Services billed

653

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.
