Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (38.5%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Globus Medical at 43.2% of the total. Among orthopaedic trauma 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.
Across 112 payments — averaging $1022.79 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

How this compares
$114,552 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 21 orthopaedic trauma providers in Virginia.
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.
