Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Intuitive Surgical accounts for 90.7% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $7,388 and has fallen 83.6% since, to $1,209 in 2025.

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

$17,121 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 202 surgery providers in Utah.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$97,451
Medicare patients
217
Services billed
483

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.
