Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — education (51.0%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 92.1% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $7,110 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $21 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in SC 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

$19,727

Medicare patients

100

Services billed

422

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.
