What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $2,225,995 of the $2,495,409 with a category attached, or 89.2%. Tightline Development, LLC accounts for 89.2% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in AR 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.

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
$196,706
Medicare patients
359
Services billed
1,398

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.
