Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.7%), royalties or licence payments and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Corelink, LLC accounts for 65.1% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among neurological surgery clinicians in MO 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.
Across 141 payments — averaging $1972.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Corelink, LLC$181K
- Zavation Medical Products, LLC$97K
- Medtronic$171

How this compares
$278,083 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 172 neurological surgery providers in Missouri.
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.
