Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $3,186,754 of the $4,886,011 with a category attached, or 65.2%. Medtronic accounts for 76.1% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $3,194,634 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $9,818 in 2025. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in CO 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.
Across 47 payments — averaging $103,958 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
