Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (52.3%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. at 45.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,560, more than ten times the $121 reported in 2020.
Across 43 payments — averaging $127.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc.$2K
- Alcon$761
- Regeneron$750
- AbbVie$406
- Genentech USA, Inc.$290
- Genentech, Inc.$209
- plus $600 from 5 others
Across 2 payments — averaging $811.23 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- F. Hoffmann-la Roche AG$2K
What the payments were for
- Grants$75014%
- Travel & lodging$1,77132%
- Food & beverage$2,87252%

Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Bausch & Lomb Americas Inc. | 16 | $2,478 |
| Alcon | 8 | $761 |
| Regeneron | 1 | $750 |
| AbbVie(2 entities) | 7 | $406 |
| Genentech USA, Inc. | 3 | $290 |
| Genentech, Inc. | 2 | $209 |
| Apellis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 2 | $183 |
| Coherus Oncology, Inc. | 1 | $133 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 1 | $107 |
| Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc. | 1 | $96 |
| Alimera Sciences, Inc. | 1 | $81 |
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
$5,494 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 920 ophthalmology providers in Pennsylvania.
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.
