Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $1,254,050 of the $1,711,785 with a category attached, or 73.3%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 99.2% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $472,854, 5.0 times the $94,687 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in VA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$407,554

Medicare patients

858

Services billed

8,523

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
