Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $1,190,144 of the $1,545,818 with a category attached, or 77.0%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 98.6% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $445,036, 5.7 times the $77,523 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NJ 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.
Across 524 payments — averaging $2950.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$1,545,818 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 587 orthopaedic surgery providers in New Jersey.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Meloxicam | 557 | $1,603 |
| Celecoxib | 65 | $1,013 |
| Amoxicillin | 173 | $194 |
| Azithromycin | 44 | $64 |
