Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — education (57.9%), grants and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by Smith+Nephew at 36.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $35,341 and has fallen 95.7% since, to $1,503 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — 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

$71,094 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 455 orthopaedic surgery providers in Missouri.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$79,497
Medicare patients
154
Services billed
1,792

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.
