Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $89,602 of the $120,454 with a category attached, or 74.4%. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Lundbeck LLC at 46.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $104,178 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $186 in 2025. Among clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in NC 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.

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

$120,454 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 98 clinical cardiac electrophysiology providers in North Carolina.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$379,440
Medicare patients
1,589
Services billed
5,830

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
PfizerEliquis$14$569,274581 claims
Johnson & JohnsonXarelto$44,285$197,920178 claims

Lundbeck LLCNorthera$55,833$26,26711 claims
AmgenCorlanor$24$9,05720 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 90th percentile of 98 clinical cardiac electrophysiology providers in North Carolina.
