Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $2,108 of the $3,395 with a category attached, or 62.1%. 7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Atricure, Inc. at 41.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,538, more than ten times the $74 reported in 2021. Among surgical clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 43 payments — averaging $78.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Atricure, Inc. | 8 | $1,398 |
| Medical Device Business Services, Inc. | 7 | $1,318 |
| ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) | 21 | $526 |
| Abiomed | 3 | $69 |
| Getinge USA Sales, LLC | 2 | $52 |
| Edwards Lifesciences | 1 | $17 |
| La Jolla Pharmaceutical Company | 1 | $16 |
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
$3,395 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 462 surgical providers in New Jersey.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Amiodarone Hcl | 13 | $70 |
| Atorvastatin Calcium | 21 | $53 |
| Potassium Chloride | 12 | $28 |
| Metoprolol Tartrate | 14 | $26 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 18 | $25 |
| Furosemide | 18 | $15 |
