$168,274 paid to institutions, not to them · program years 2019–2023

Through program year 2025, Ronald Berger of Baltimore, MD is reported in the CMS Open Payments database as having received $25,809 across 98 general payments and $0 in research payments paid to them. Separately, studies naming them as principal investigator received $168,274 in research payments, paid to institutions rather than to them.

No combined total General, research and ownership are kept apart. Each is reported under its own rules, and ownership is not money that moved at all but the value of a stake held. A meal, a clinical trial grant and a shareholding do not add up to anything meaningful, so this site does not add them. The principal-investigator line is research money paid to institutions for studies they led — not to them — and is not added to anything either.

General payments for this record sit in the 58th percentile of Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology profiles with reported payments. Percentile describes the distribution, not the conduct.

A drug with fewer than 11 claims for this prescriber is not published, so a missing drug does not mean zero. The medians are for the 2,573 Part D prescribers listed as Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology; they describe a distribution and say nothing about conduct.

What this means

U.S. law requires drug and medical device manufacturers to report payments and transfers of value they make to physicians and teaching hospitals. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services publishes that record each year. This page shows what was reported about this person, and nothing else.

An ownership interest is different from the other two. It is not a payment: it is a stake — shares, options, a partnership holding — that a physician or an immediate family member held in a manufacturer during that year. The figure shown is what the stake was reported to be worth.

Research payments frequently pass through a clinician to the institution running a trial, and rarely represent personal income. They should be read differently from general payments.
