Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (33.0%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 29.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $8,417 and has fallen 60.4% since, to $3,334 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in IL, where the typical reported total is $24,482.

What the payments were tied to
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.

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.
