What this record shows
7 manufacturers reported payments, led by Zimmer Biomet at 46.7% of the total. 2024 is the largest year on record at $763, more than ten times the $68 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for surgical critical care clinicians in OH, where the typical reported total is $886.
Across 19 payments — averaging $58.19 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Zimmer Biomet | 10 | $517 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $158 |
| Integra Lifesciences Corporation | 1 | $147 |
| Vericel Corporation | 1 | $110 |
| Medical Device Business Services, Inc. | 3 | $89 |
| Medtronic | 1 | $68 |
| KCI USA, Inc. | 1 | $17 |
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.
- INTEGRA$442
- AdvantageRib$410
- INTEGRA DERMAL REGENERATION TEMPLATE$147
- PRIMATRIX$147
- NexoBrid$110
How this compares
$1,106 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 79 surgical critical care providers in Ohio.
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.
