Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $48,750 of the $75,835 with a category attached, or 64.3%. Globus Medical accounts for 87.0% of it on its own, with 39 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in LA 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.

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

$75,835 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 286 orthopaedic surgery providers in Louisiana.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$62,694
Medicare patients
129
Services billed
6,701

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.
