Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $262,301 of the $262,301 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Biogen. Among neurology clinicians in MA 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.
Across 6 payments — averaging $43,717 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Biogen$262K
Across 2 payments — averaging $43,663 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Biogen$70K
- Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Development America, Inc.$17K

General payments by program year
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Biogen | 6 | $262,301 |
How this compares
$262,301 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 761 neurology providers in Massachusetts.
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.
