Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $14,946 of the $17,546 with a category attached, or 85.2%. It is spread thinly across 33 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $5,232 and has fallen 61.4% since, to $2,017 in 2025.

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

$17,546 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 405 vascular surgery providers in New York.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$126,580
Medicare patients
2,038
Services billed
3,228

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.
