What this record shows

Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 74.9% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $27,226 and has fallen 58.0% since, to $11,437 in 2025.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

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

$113,632 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 585 interventional cardiology providers in California.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$252,902
Medicare patients
327
Services billed
948

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.
