Pediatric Urology: industry payments
Drug and device makers reported $3,103,808 in payments to providers registered in this specialty across Open Payments program years 2019–2025.
- Providers
- 425
- Received a payment
- 424 (99.8%)
- Total reported
- $3.1M
- Average, those paid
- $7,320
The average is computed only over providers who received something, because including the 1 who received nothing would produce a number that describes neither group. Totals are dominated by a small number of large royalty and consulting arrangements; the typical payment in this specialty is far smaller than the average implies.
What Medicare pays pediatric urology clinicians
Across 47 pediatric urology clinicians who billed Original Medicare Part B in 2024, Medicare allowed $5,752,156 in total — an average of $122,386 each, of which $110,527 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.
