Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $55,806 of the $78,959 with a category attached, or 70.7%. Boston Scientific accounts for 65.7% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $22,419 and has fallen 79.0% since, to $4,712 in 2025. Among gastroenterology clinicians in NY 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

Services billed

233

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.
