Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (57.5%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.8%. 2025 is the largest year on record at $14,440, 6.2 times the $2,344 reported in 2023. Among vascular surgery clinicians in ME 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.

Services billed

684

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.
