Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $141,495 of the $235,441 with a category attached, or 60.1%. AstraZeneca accounts for 99.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $99,137 and has fallen 76.5% since, to $23,265 in 2025. Among radiation oncology clinicians in WI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$1,058,438

Medicare patients

224

Services billed

4,361

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.
