Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 63 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Abbott accounts for 62.9% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $784 and has fallen 66.3% since, to $264 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional pain medicine clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $8,993.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$179,751

Medicare patients

108

Services billed

10,797

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.
