Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. accounts for 78.3% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,924, more than ten times the $136 reported in 2019. Among primary podiatric medicine clinicians in TX 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.
Across 111 payments — averaging $64.13 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

How this compares
$7,118 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 36 primary podiatric medicine providers in Texas.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ciclopirox | 12 | $519 |
| Clotrimazole-BetamethasoneClotrimazole/Betamethasone Dip | 13 | $348 |
| Mupirocin | 23 | $183 |
| Cephalexin | 15 | $104 |
| Clindamycin Hcl | 11 | $97 |
