Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.8% of the total across 94 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Salix Pharmaceuticals, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLC at 25.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $751 and has fallen 94.5% since, to $41 in 2025. Among anesthesiology clinicians in CT 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$14,475
Medicare patients
115
Services billed
116

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.
