Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $100,750 of the $138,868 with a category attached, or 72.6%. CTL Medical Corporation accounts for 71.2% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $38,675 and has fallen 74.1% since, to $10,015 in 2024. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in UT 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.

How this compares
$138,868 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 221 orthopaedic surgery providers in Utah.
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.
