Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $2,013 of the $2,514 with a category attached, or 80.0%. Blue Earth Diagnostics accounts for 91.9% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,200 and has fallen 96.7% since, to $40 in 2025. Among nuclear medicine clinicians in FL 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.
Across 15 payments — averaging $167.61 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
- Axumin$2,013
How this compares
$2,514 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 26 nuclear medicine providers in Florida.
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.
