Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $542,965 of the $560,816 with a category attached, or 96.8%. Merck accounts for 90.7% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $267,398 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $1,500 in 2025. Among diagnostic radiology 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.

Who reported the general payments

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$162,823
Medicare patients
3,221
Services billed
7,625

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.
