Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (50.0%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Fusion Orthopedics USA, LLC at 52.5% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $14,605, 3.0 times the $4,881 reported in 2019. Among foot and ankle surgery clinicians in OH 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.
Across 120 payments — averaging $242.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$29,088 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 429 foot and ankle surgery providers in Ohio.
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.
