Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $26,393 of the $37,090 with a category attached, or 71.2%. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. at 33.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $17,660 and has fallen 96.4% since, to $639 in 2025.

How this compares
$37,090 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 827 cardiovascular disease providers in Ohio.
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.
