Based on Medicare claims data, Dr. Wasserman performed 6,000 denosumab injection (prolia/xgeva) services. These records cover Medicare fee-for-service activity, including eligible younger beneficiaries; they do not measure total practice volume or clinical quality.
Does Dr. Wasserman receive payments from pharmaceutical companies?
Yes. Dr. Wasserman received a total of $2,189 from 22 companies across 85 payment records. A record can group multiple payments. These transfers are publicly disclosed through CMS Open Payments. Disclosure alone does not establish their legality or effect on care.

How do Dr. Wasserman's costs compare to other endocrinologists in Great Neck?

What does Data Coverage mean?
Data Coverage (currently Very High for Dr. Wasserman) measures how much public federal data is available about a provider. It is not a quality rating. A "Very High" or "High" level means the provider has data across multiple federal sources (NPPES, PECOS, Medicare Utilization, Open Payments), indicating the presence of registry, enrollment, activity or payment records, not verified experience or clinical quality. A "Low" or "Moderate" level may simply mean the provider is newer, does not see Medicare patients, or has not received any industry payments — none of which are inherently negative.
