Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (32.4%), education and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 54.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,001 and has fallen 95.4% since, to $186 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for foot & ankle surgery clinicians in NE, where the typical reported total is $5,810.
Across 58 payments — averaging $110.45 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$6,406 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 43 foot & ankle surgery providers in Nebraska.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Ciclopirox | 14 | $712 |
| Cephalexin | 28 | $241 |
| Gabapentin | 15 | $119 |
| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 16 | $111 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 13 | $49 |
