Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (40.9%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Spineology Inc. accounts for 66.8% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $5,727 and has fallen 97.8% since, to $128 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $12,239.

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

$12,239 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 29 orthopaedic surgery of the spine providers in Louisiana.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$116,878
Medicare patients
117
Services billed
811

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.
