Women's Health: industry payments
Drug and device makers reported $7,754,233 in payments to providers registered in this specialty across Open Payments program years 2019–2025.
- Providers

- Received a payment
- 5,956 (99.9%)
- Total reported
- $7.8M
- Average, those paid
- $1,302
The average is computed only over providers who received something, because including the 4 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 women's health clinicians
Across 1,802 women's health clinicians who billed Original Medicare Part B in 2024, Medicare allowed $24,338,960 in total — an average of $13,507 each, of which $12,475 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.
