Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.2%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by Astrazeneca UK Limited at 49.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $10,226 and has fallen 88.0% since, to $1,224 in 2023. Among radiation oncology 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.
Across 18 payments — averaging $1087.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$19,572 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 397 radiation oncology providers in New York.
Medicare billing
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.
