Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $72,045 of the $105,781 with a category attached, or 68.1%. Eisai Inc. accounts for 67.2% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $39,656 and has fallen 92.9% since, to $2,821 in 2025. Among hematology & oncology clinicians in FL 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.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Eisai Inc. | 54 | $71,065 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 15 | $14,057 |
| Merck | 14 | $9,495 |
| Sirtex Medical Inc | 3 | $2,974 |
| Deciphera Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 6 | $2,737 |

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.
How this compares
$105,781 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 694 hematology & oncology providers in Florida.
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 |

| Imatinib Mesylate | 38 | $33,636 |
| Dexamethasone | 50 | $1,299 |
