Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (50.8%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.1%. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $6,658 and has fallen 56.7% since, to $2,884 in 2025. Among thoracic surgery (cardiothoracic vascular surgery) clinicians in IA 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

Medicare patients

Services billed

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.
