Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — education (58.0%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Wardlow Enterprises accounts for 74.7% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,476 and has fallen 82.5% since, to $258 in 2025.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$202,407
Medicare patients
412
Services billed
1,644

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.
