Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (53.3%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Synthes GmbH accounts for 85.1% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,439, more than ten times the $168 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in OR, where the typical reported total is $2,454.
Across 10 payments — averaging $281.59 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Synthes GmbH | 3 | $2,398 |
| Zimmer Biomet | 3 | $257 |
| Stryker | 2 | $85 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $58 |
| Sonex Health, Inc. | 1 | $19 |
How this compares
$2,816 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 228 orthopaedic surgery providers in Oregon.
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 | 28 | $250 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 29 | $167 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 16 | $51 |
