Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $12,415,560 of the $12,415,629 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $6,871,467 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $53 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in IL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 29 payments — averaging $428,125 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
