Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $1,028 of the $1,573 with a category attached, or 65.4%. Si-bone, Inc. accounts for 65.4% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2024 is the largest year on record at $1,325, more than ten times the $16 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for pain medicine clinicians in NM, where the typical reported total is $2,719.
Across 13 payments — averaging $120.98 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
- IFUSE IMPLANT SYSTEM$1,028
How this compares
$1,573 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 36 pain medicine providers in New Mexico.
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.
