Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 33 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 60.5% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $351, 9.0 times the $39 reported in 2022.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$66,264
Medicare patients
213
Services billed
290

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.
