What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.1%. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,211 and has fallen 82.7% since, to $209 in 2025.

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

$3,979 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 151 podiatrist providers in Arizona.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$818,701
Medicare patients
168
Services billed
5,598

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.
