Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.4%), consulting fees and royalties or licence payments — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Arthrex accounts for 99.5% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NY 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 287 payments — averaging $1197.31 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
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Arthrex | 282 | $342,004 |
| Gotham Surgical Solutions & Devices, Inc. | 3 | $1,420 |
| Suvon Surgical LLC | 2 | $205 |
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
$343,628 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,079 orthopaedic surgery providers in New York.
