Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.4% of the total across 52 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 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $491 and has fallen 68.8% since, to $153 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for hematology & oncology clinicians in PA, where the typical reported total is $1,277.

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

$1,315 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 682 hematology & oncology providers in Pennsylvania.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$57,499
Medicare patients
108
Services billed
519

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.
