What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $492,125 of the $664,684 with a category attached, or 74.0%. Pacira Pharmaceuticals Incorporated accounts for 87.6% of it on its own, with 26 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among anesthesiology clinicians in NY 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.

How this compares
$664,684 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 4,157 anesthesiology providers in New York.
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.
