Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $686,116 of the $1,090,764 with a category attached, or 62.9%. Globus Medical accounts for 85.5% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $369,051, 4.3 times the $85,130 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MD 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.

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

$1,090,764 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 378 orthopaedic surgery providers in Maryland.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$528,192
Medicare patients
751
Services billed
2,139

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.
