Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 63 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 69.2% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $624 and has fallen 83.6% since, to $102 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for vascular & interventional radiology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $2,573.
Across 63 payments — averaging $31.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
