Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,744 of the $5,689 with a category attached, or 65.8%. It is spread thinly across 14 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.0%. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,464 and has fallen 96.9% since, to $108 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $8,581.
Across 52 payments — averaging $109.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$5,689 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 585 interventional cardiology 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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Nitroglycerin | 13 | $210 |
| Atorvastatin Calcium | 13 | $81 |
| Furosemide | 15 | $37 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
