Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $197,709 of the $266,819 with a category attached, or 74.1%. Medtronic accounts for 84.4% of it on its own, with 30 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $80,426 and has fallen 55.3% since, to $35,953 in 2025. Among neurological surgery clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

How this compares
$266,819 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 174 neurological surgery providers in New Jersey.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Acetaminophen-CodeineAcetaminophen With Codeine | 15 | $96 |
| Cephalexin | 11 | $64 |
