Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.7%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Nevro Corp. accounts for 73.4% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,101 and has fallen 84.3% since, to $173 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in OH, where the typical reported total is $2,744.

Who reported the general payments

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$2,428
Medicare patients
15
Services billed
24

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.
