Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,651 of the $3,087 with a category attached, or 85.9%. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Si-bone, Inc. at 32.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,425 and has fallen 67.7% since, to $460 in 2024. Among physician assistant clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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
$3,087 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 2,726 physician assistant providers in New Jersey.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Tramadol Hcl | 11 | $36 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
