Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $24,700 of the $32,510 with a category attached, or 76.0%. DNE LLC accounts for 61.5% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $13,418 and has fallen 98.3% since, to $232 in 2025. Among foot & ankle surgery clinicians in NJ with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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
$32,510 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 542 foot & ankle surgery providers in New Jersey.
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
