Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (59.3%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Globus Medical accounts for 81.9% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $34,456 and has fallen 98.4% since, to $557 in 2025.

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

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$74,643
Medicare patients
108
Services billed
305

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.
