Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,267 of the $2,868 with a category attached, or 79.0%. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novus Surgical Consultants at 26.3% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,896, more than ten times the $95 reported in 2021. Among gerontology clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 73 payments — averaging $39.29 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Novus Surgical Consultants | 4 | $755 |
| Boston Scientific | 32 | $595 |
| Atricure, Inc. | 11 | $443 |
| Arthrex | 5 | $368 |
| Edwards Lifesciences | 6 | $259 |
| Getinge USA Sales, LLC | 7 | $236 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $81 |
| Abiomed | 1 | $43 |
| Smith+Nephew | 1 | $24 |
| Convatec Inc. | 1 | $18 |
| Medtronic | 1 | $18 |
| Baxter Healthcare | 1 | $17 |
| ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) | 1 | $11 |
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.
How this compares
$2,868 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 383 gerontology providers in Pennsylvania.
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.
