Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $402 of the $620 with a category attached, or 64.7%. Medtronic accounts for 82.6% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $535 and has fallen 96.3% since, to $20 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in MA, where the typical reported total is $3,500.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Medtronic | 3 | $513 |
| Cerapedics Inc. | 1 | $66 |
| Globus Medical | 1 | $22 |
| CSL Behring | 1 | $20 |
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.
How this compares
$620 in reported general payments places this provider in the 25th percentile of 183 neurological surgery providers in Massachusetts.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Methylprednisolone | 50 | $329 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 20 | $144 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 21 | $71 |
| Tizanidine Hcl | 19 | $60 |
