Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (44.7%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Zimmer Biomet at 44.8% of the total. That places this record below the midpoint for sports medicine clinicians in AL, where the typical reported total is $4,051.

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

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$91,636
Medicare patients
146
Services billed
6,094

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.
