Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (57.1%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 92.7% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $3,007 and has fallen 50.7% since, to $1,482 in 2025.
Across 74 payments — averaging $127.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$9,405 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 107 orthopaedic surgery providers in New Mexico.
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.
