Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 47.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $8,211, more than ten times the $153 reported in 2022. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation clinicians in MD 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
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.
