Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 29 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Amgen accounts for 65.9% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $385, more than ten times the $13 reported in 2019.

How this compares

Too few ophthalmic plastic and reconstructive surgery providers in Pennsylvaniato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$222,400

Medicare patients

348

Services billed

1,545

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.
