Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology in Oregon
13 providers, $626,473 in total reported payments from drug and device makers. Ranked below by lifetime general payments.
Ranking high here usually means a consulting or royalty arrangement, not wrongdoing. Payments to device inventors and trial investigators are legal, disclosed, and concentrated in a small number of people — which is exactly why a list like this has a steep top and a long flat tail.
What Medicare pays advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology clinicians in Oregon
Across 13 advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology clinicians in Oregon who billed Original Medicare Part B in 2024, Medicare allowed $560,590 in total — an average of $43,122 each, of which $43,122 was for services and the rest for drugs administered in the office.
This is not a salary. The rest is what Medicare allowed for services these clinicians billed — Original Medicare fee-for-service only. It excludes Medicare Advantage, which now covers more than half of Medicare enrollees, along with Medicaid and every commercial insurer, so for most clinicians it is a fraction of their practice. It is also gross revenue: staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums all come out of it before anyone is paid. Anyone quoting a figure like this as physician pay is misreading it.
