Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,010 of the $3,120 with a category attached, or 64.4%. Medtronic accounts for 64.5% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $2,774 and has fallen 93.6% since, to $178 in 2024. Among anesthesiology clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$160,273

Medicare patients

309

Services billed

1,695

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.
