Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.9% of the total across 137 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in MD, where the typical reported total is $2,763.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$162,422
Medicare patients
504
Services billed
1,093

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.

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.

Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs

These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.

CompanyPaid to this providerPart D cost of their drugs
AbbVieCreon, Viberzi$162$60,32224 claims
GileadVemlidy$94$14,86211 claims
Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc.Clenpiq$87$3,39320 claims

Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 45th percentile of 455 gastroenterology providers in Maryland.
