Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (36.0%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Arthrex accounts for 61.8% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,120 and has fallen 83.0% since, to $360 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for foot and ankle surgery clinicians in NE, where the typical reported total is $5,810.

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

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$150,436
Medicare patients
393
Services billed
1,966

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.
