Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (41.7%), education and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.5%. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $4,120 and has fallen 94.3% since, to $235 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $12,644.
Across 68 payments — averaging $133.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Celecoxib | 14 | $272 |
| Meloxicam | 57 | $136 |
| Cyclobenzaprine Hcl | 14 | $85 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 12 | $69 |
