Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,902 of the $2,152 with a category attached, or 88.4%. It is spread thinly across 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $660 and has fallen 65.2% since, to $229 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $4,671.
Across 45 payments — averaging $47.82 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

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
$2,152 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 1,337 orthopaedic surgery providers in Texas.
Medicare billing
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |
|---|---|---|
| Cephalexin | 51 | $604 |
| Acetaminophen-CodeineAcetaminophen With Codeine | 141 | $567 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
