Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by education: $38,900 of the $58,164 with a category attached, or 66.9%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 88.8% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $50,257, more than ten times the $1,035 reported in 2021. Among surgery clinicians in NY 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

$57,080

Medicare patients

113

Services billed

268

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.
