Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (47.3%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 32.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $7,472 and has fallen 59.6% since, to $3,016 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in IL, where the typical reported total is $24,482.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| EliquisApixaban | 66 | $70,693 |
| MultaqDronedarone Hcl | 29 | $40,285 |
| XareltoRivaroxaban | 16 | $25,751 |
| Metoprolol Succinate | 35 | $421 |
