Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $73,153 of the $82,670 with a category attached, or 88.5%. Medical Device Business Services, Inc. accounts for 85.0% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $17,378 and has fallen 58.6% since, to $7,199 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in IL 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.

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.
