Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $26,476 of the $41,020 with a category attached, or 64.5%. Medtronic accounts for 61.6% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $11,691 and has fallen 65.9% since, to $3,989 in 2025. Among anesthesiology clinicians in OH 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.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$136,631
Medicare patients
398
Services billed
1,572

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.
