Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.6% of the total across 203 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,658 and has fallen 98.7% since, to $22 in 2024. Among surgical clinicians in MI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.

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

$3,365 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 229 surgical providers in Michigan.
