Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (48.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 66.4% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $47,314 and has fallen 78.0% since, to $10,412 in 2025. Among neurological surgery clinicians in UT with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 253 payments — averaging $292.13 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$73,909 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 75 neurological surgery providers in Utah.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Gabapentin | 11 | $161 |
| Cyclobenzaprine Hcl | 21 | $77 |
| Meloxicam | 11 | $40 |
