Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (52.7%), royalties or licence payments and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Globus Medical accounts for 93.3% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,087,899 and has fallen 97.7% since, to $24,698 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in CO 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 455 payments — averaging $5049.62 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
