Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (51.9%), education and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 42.5% of the total.
Across 38 payments — averaging $109.24 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Intuitive Surgical$2K
- Stryker$718
- Dilon Technologies, Inc.$395
- Johnson & Johnson$282
- Medtronic$199
- Applied Medical Resources Corporation$175
- plus $618 from 5 others
Across 18 payments — averaging $315,195 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Merck$5.7M
What the payments were for
- Consulting fees$1754%
- Travel & lodging$71817%

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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
$4,151 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 59 surgical oncology 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.
