What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 16 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sirtex Medical Inc at 36.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $142 and has fallen 57.6% since, to $60 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for vascular & interventional radiology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $1,852.
Across 16 payments — averaging $27.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| ClopidogrelClopidogrel Bisulfate | 23 | $199 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
