Nicholas Amoroso, MD

Interventional Cardiology · Pawleys Island, SCNPI 1326366378

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — education (28.3%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Jenavalve Technology, Inc. accounts for 62.7% of it on its own, with 24 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among interventional cardiology clinicians in SC 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
$175,857
Medicare patients
343
Services billed
784

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.
