Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.2% of the total across 18 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medicem Inc. at 24.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $230 and has fallen 52.0% since, to $110 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $302.
Across 18 payments — averaging $21.38 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

|---|---|---|
| Medicem Inc. | 1 | $95 |
| Therapeuticsmd, Inc. | 3 | $78 |
| Daiichi Sankyo Inc. | 2 | $35 |

How this compares
$385 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 2,673 obstetrics & gynecology 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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Estradiol | 63 | $5,675 |
| Clobetasol Propionate | 14 | $718 |
| ProgesteroneProgesterone, Micronized | 13 | $613 |
| ValacyclovirValacyclovir Hcl | 12 | $349 |
| Fluconazole | 12 | $134 |
| Alendronate Sodium | 13 | $112 |
