What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.7% of the total across 12 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Aroa Biosurgery Incorporated at 26.9% of the total. That places this record below the midpoint for surgical critical care clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $1,306.

How this compares
$274 in reported general payments places this provider in the 20th percentile of 52 surgical critical care providers in Georgia.
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.
