Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (57.4%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.2%. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,146 and has fallen 81.0% since, to $598 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic trauma clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $14,950.
Across 55 payments — averaging $124.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$6,862 in reported general payments places this provider in the 30th percentile of 74 orthopaedic trauma providers in Texas.
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
