What Public CMS Data Show
Surgery: NPPES taxonomy is a reported classification, not proof of board certification.
Industry payments (Open Payments)
Fewer than 11 payment records totaling $59,508.00 in 2024
Drug and medical device companies must report certain payments to doctors and some other clinicians to CMS, such as meals, travel, speaking fees or research funding.
It shows reported financial ties between this clinician and companies. You can ask your clinician about them.
These records are submitted by drug and medical device companies, and a reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper.
Research: payments made under a research agreement. They may go to an institution rather than the clinician.
A reported payment does not necessarily mean the financial relationship is improper. Research payments can go to a hospital or university for a study the clinician leads, not to the clinician personally. Clinicians can dispute records with the company that reported them.
