Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $32,788 of the $42,023 with a category attached, or 78.0%. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Avenu Medical Inc. at 51.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $22,286 and has fallen 98.7% since, to $289 in 2023. Among anesthesiology clinicians in CA 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.

General payments by program year
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Avenu Medical Inc. | 17 | $21,634 |
| Medtronic | 22 | $12,615 |
| Heron Therapeutics, Inc. | 22 | $5,826 |
| Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. | 11 | $1,481 |
| Covidien LP | 1 | $350 |
| Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $117 |
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
$42,023 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 5,717 anesthesiology providers in California.
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.
