Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $113,201 of the $132,341 with a category attached, or 85.5%. Organ Recovery Systems, Inc. accounts for 95.4% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $68,583, more than ten times the $355 reported in 2019. Among transplant surgery clinicians in OH 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.
Across 72 payments — averaging $1838.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares

Medicare billing
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.
