Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 4 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. AstraZeneca accounts for 67.7% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2024 is the largest year on record at $160, more than ten times the $15 reported in 2020. That places this record below the midpoint for medical oncology clinicians in WA, where the typical reported total is $2,355.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$85,472
Medicare patients
98
Services billed
1,045

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.
