Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (44.5%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 73.0% of it on its own, with 20 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $6,093 and has fallen 99.0% since, to $63 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in MI, where the typical reported total is $10,194.

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

$10,888 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 37 orthopaedic surgery of the spine providers in Michigan.
