What this record shows

That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $4,792.
Across 9 payments — averaging $494.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

- Janssen Research & Development, LLC$2K
- Integra Lifesciences Corporation$147

General payments by program year
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.

|---|---|---|
| Regeneron | 1 | $2,660 |
| Janssen Research & Development, LLC | 7 | $1,642 |
| Integra Lifesciences Corporation | 1 | $147 |
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.
- MICROMATRIX$147
