What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2020 at $329,862 and has fallen 90.6% since, to $31,023 in 2025. Among rheumatology clinicians in MA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
