Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $3,500 of the $5,299 with a category attached, or 66.1%. Pharmacosmos Therapeutics Inc. accounts for 68.3% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $3,643 and has fallen 85.3% since, to $534 in 2024. Among internal medicine clinicians in NY 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.

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
$5,299 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 9,771 internal 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.
