Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $39,250 of the $51,260 with a category attached, or 76.6%. Boston Scientific accounts for 88.8% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $16,023, more than ten times the $1,224 reported in 2019. Among gastroenterology clinicians in NY 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.
Across 119 payments — averaging $430.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$51,260 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,682 gastroenterology providers in New York.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Omeprazole | 52 | $471 |
| Pantoprazole Sodium | 27 | $376 |
