Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by education: $13,250 of the $19,043 with a category attached, or 69.6%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 91.5% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $12,915 and has fallen 79.2% since, to $2,690 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in WA 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.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$16,936
Medicare patients

Services billed
43

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.
