Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Medtronic accounts for 88.1% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $6,091 and has fallen 97.7% since, to $141 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in MA, where the typical reported total is $21,142.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$274,908

Medicare patients

244

Services billed

703

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.
