Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $373,171 of the $580,893 with a category attached, or 64.2%. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Zimmer Biomet at 42.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $333,900 and has fallen 99.0% since, to $3,241 in 2025. Among orthopedic surgery clinicians in NY 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.

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.

How this compares
$580,893 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 91 orthopedic surgery providers in New York.
Medicare billing
What this is not: this is the amount Original Medicare Part B allowed for services this provider billed in 2024. It is not their income. It excludes Medicare Advantage — now more than half of all Medicare enrollment — along with Medicaid and all commercial insurance, and it is gross practice revenue before staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums. CMS also suppresses any figure covering ten or fewer patients, so low-volume providers appear smaller than they are.
