Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (40.3%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sequoia Surgical, Inc. at 42.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,244 and has fallen 86.0% since, to $175 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $2,444.
Across 10 payments — averaging $165.17 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Sequoia Surgical, Inc. | 3 | $706 |
| Vericel Corporation | 2 | $426 |
| Bioventus LLC | 1 | $178 |
| Miach Orthopaedics, Inc. | 1 | $175 |
| Smith+Nephew | 2 | $151 |
| Mindray DS USA, Inc. | 1 | $17 |
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.
- MACI$406
- Durolane$178
- Q-FIX$133
- ACCUPASS DIRECT Crescent XL$133
- BIORAPTOR$133
How this compares
$1,652 in reported general payments places this provider in the 40th percentile of 1,808 orthopaedic surgery providers in California.
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.
