Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $435,750 of the $708,586 with a category attached, or 61.5%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 93.8% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among sports medicine clinicians in CO 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.
