Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (55.3%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 68.9% of it on its own, with 27 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $17,576 and has fallen 58.3% since, to $7,335 in 2025. Among vascular surgery clinicians in VA 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.

$56,471in general payments, 2019–2025

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

$56,471 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 143 vascular surgery providers in Virginia.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$424,981
Medicare patients
2,341
Services billed
4,254

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.
