Based on Medicare claims data, Sussman performed 19 coronary artery bypass graft, 1 artery services. These records cover Medicare fee-for-service activity, including eligible younger beneficiaries; they do not measure total practice volume or clinical quality.

Q: Does Sussman receive payments from pharmaceutical companies?

Yes. Sussman received a total of $7,779 from 20 companies across 61 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.

Q: How do Sussman's costs compare to other physician assistants in Merrick?

Sussman's average Medicare payment per service is $146.

Procedure-level data on this page shows both what was submitted and what Medicare paid for each service type.

Q: What does Data Coverage mean?

Data Coverage (currently Very High for Sussman) 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.
