Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (41.3%), education and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 59.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $9,595 and has fallen 84.8% since, to $1,455 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in NJ 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.

Medicare patients

137

Services billed

359

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.
