Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (43.9%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Orthalign Inc at 48.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,405, more than ten times the $84 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for adult reconstructive orthopaedic surgery clinicians in SC, where the typical reported total is $5,295.
Across 57 payments — averaging $92.89 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| XareltoRivaroxaban | 13 | $7,244 |
| Naloxone Hcl | 60 | $3,800 |

| Mupirocin | 143 | $1,020 |
| Cyclobenzaprine Hcl | 126 | $761 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 94 | $458 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 96 | $417 |
| Ondansetron Hcl | 126 | $280 |

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
Companies that both paid and supply prescribed drugs
These companies both reported payments to this provider and make drugs the provider prescribed under Medicare Part D in 2024. For most specialties this overlap is expected — a cardiologist who is paid by a cardiology drugmaker also treats heart disease. It is shown so the reader can see it, not because it implies anything on its own.
| Company | Paid to this provider | Part D cost of their drugs |
|---|---|---|
| Johnson & JohnsonXarelto | $23 | $7,24413 claims |
Reading this fairly. The Part D column is what drug plans and patients paid pharmacies — this provider received none of it, and it reflects how many patients they treat and what those drugs cost. Against peers, this provider's reported payments sit in the 50th percentile of 30 adult reconstructive orthopaedic surgery providers in South Carolina.
