Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (47.2%), speaking fees and royalties or licence payments — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Linvatec Corporation accounts for 78.3% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $95,252 and has fallen 51.2% since, to $46,495 in 2025. Among sports medicine clinicians in OH with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$84,801

Medicare patients

127

Services billed

312

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

Oxycodone-AcetaminophenOxycodone Hcl/Acetaminophen	12	$75
