What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,789 of the $4,005 with a category attached, or 69.6%. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 53.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,594, 4.7 times the $336 reported in 2019. Among anesthesiology clinicians in SD 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

$160,502

Medicare patients

497

Services billed

2,209

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.
