Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 6 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 78.1% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $169 and has fallen 84.6% since, to $26 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for cardiovascular disease clinicians in MA, where the typical reported total is $954.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$76,877
Medicare patients
756
Services billed
1,039

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.
