Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (51.3%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medacta USA, Inc. accounts for 72.1% of it on its own, with 26 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among sports medicine clinicians in AZ 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$105,093
Medicare patients
189
Services billed
769

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.
