Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (56.5%), food and beverage and other — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Abiomed accounts for 85.5% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,916 and has fallen 88.9% since, to $212 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $9,970.
Across 34 payments — averaging $151.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

What the payments were tied to
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
$5,146 in reported general payments places this provider in the 30th percentile of 171 interventional cardiology providers in Louisiana.
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.
