Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $151,723 of the $213,827 with a category attached, or 71.0%. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 65.1% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $160,179, more than ten times the $866 reported in 2019. Among interventional cardiology clinicians in WA 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

$213,827 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 125 interventional cardiology providers in Washington.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$435,815
Medicare patients
411
Services billed
1,289

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.
