What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (50.7%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Solventum Corporation at 54.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $6,156 and has fallen 56.9% since, to $2,651 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic trauma clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $14,950.
Across 58 payments — averaging $173.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$10,069 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th 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
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 58 | $485 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 30 | $196 |
| Meloxicam | 23 | $59 |
| Methocarbamol | 13 | $56 |
