What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $2,869 of the $4,631 with a category attached, or 62.0%. Medtronic accounts for 77.5% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,440 and has fallen 93.3% since, to $229 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $8,581.
Across 37 payments — averaging $125.17 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Medtronic | 23 | $3,589 |
| Philips North America LLC | 4 | $243 |
| Abbott | 1 | $179 |
| Biotronik Inc. | 1 | $126 |
| Ablative Solutions, Inc. | 1 | $125 |
| Shockwave Medical, Inc | 1 | $105 |
| Penumbra, Inc. | 1 | $102 |
| ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) | 4 | $88 |
| Cathworks, Inc. | 1 | $74 |
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
$4,631 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.
