Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $104,204 of the $142,863 with a category attached, or 72.9%. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. accounts for 61.7% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Among otolaryngology clinicians in MN 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.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. | 23 | $88,176 |
| Cvrx, Inc. | 31 | $54,688 |
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.
- Barostim Neo System$54,688
- Inspire$50,534
- Inspire Upper Airway Stimulation System$37,642
How this compares
$142,863 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 181 otolaryngology providers in Minnesota.
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.
