Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $1,639 of the $2,320 with a category attached, or 70.7%. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 45.9% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,252, more than ten times the $106 reported in 2022. Among surgical clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 33 payments — averaging $70.30 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ibuprofen | 30 | $173 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 32 | $121 |
| Ondansetron Hcl | 37 | $79 |
