Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2024 at $703 and has fallen 63.3% since, to $258 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for otolaryngology/facial plastic surgery clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $2,391.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Aerin Medical Inc. | 8 | $567 |
| Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. | 10 | $338 |
| Integra Lifesciences Corporation | 2 | $193 |
| Cochlear Americas | 1 | $150 |
| Intuitive Surgical | 1 | $128 |
| Baxter Healthcare | 1 | $122 |
| Atos Medical Inc | 2 | $85 |
| Acera Surgical, Inc. | 1 | $66 |
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
$1,651 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 48 otolaryngology/facial plastic surgery providers in New York.

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.

| Omeprazole | 122 | $1,206 |
