Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 12 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Genentech USA, Inc. accounts for 60.9% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $92 and has fallen 82.0% since, to $17 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for family medicine clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $355.
Across 12 payments — averaging $19.48 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc.$55

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Genentech USA, Inc. | 7 | $142 |
| Kowa Pharmaceuticals America, Inc. | 3 | $55 |
| Merck | 1 | $19 |
| Lupin Inc. | 1 | $18 |
How this compares
$234 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 4,321 family medicine 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.
