Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $90,875 of the $108,585 with a category attached, or 83.7%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 93.7% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $56,974 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $387 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MS 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$406,482

Medicare patients

411

Services billed

3,149

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.
