Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (31.7%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 34 manufacturers reported payments, led by Shockwave Medical, Inc at 50.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $23,469 and has fallen 61.9% since, to $8,930 in 2025. Among vascular surgery clinicians in MA 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.

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.

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.

How this compares

$44,608 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 142 vascular surgery providers in Massachusetts.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$157,248
Medicare patients
299
Services billed
1,052

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.
