Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.8%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Misonix Inc accounts for 75.6% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $3,415 and has fallen 94.9% since, to $175 in 2025. Among hospitalist clinicians in MA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 89 payments — averaging $65.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$5,805 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 599 hospitalist providers in Massachusetts.
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.
