Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (43.9%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bayer at 43.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $609 and has fallen 84.5% since, to $94 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $2,467.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$205,400

Medicare patients

597

Services billed

1,804

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.
