Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,238 of the $7,541 with a category attached, or 69.5%. It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.8%. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,143 and has fallen 67.1% since, to $706 in 2025. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$178,820

Medicare patients

603

Services billed

2,241

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.
