Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,556 of the $1,997 with a category attached, or 77.9%. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 34.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $698 and has fallen 80.5% since, to $136 in 2025. Among surgical clinicians in MD with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 28 payments — averaging $71.32 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Johnson & Johnson | 9 | $686 |
| Teleflex LLC | 6 | $205 |
| Bayer | 2 | $179 |
| Astellas Pharma US Inc | 2 | $159 |
| Medtronic | 1 | $141 |
| Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $114 |
| Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $112 |
| Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. | 1 | $112 |
| GSK | 1 | $111 |
| AbbVie | 1 | $107 |
| Radius Health, Inc. | 1 | $27 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $26 |
| Bioprotect Medical, Inc. | 1 | $19 |
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
$1,997 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 277 surgical providers in Maryland.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Oxycodone Hcl | 25 | $41 |
| Ciprofloxacin Hcl | 17 | $39 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
