Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by education: $287 of the $478 with a category attached, or 60.0%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 60.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $287, 5.8 times the $50 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for sports medicine clinicians in NM, where the typical reported total is $1,793.
Across 8 payments — averaging $59.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Zimmer Biomet | 1 | $287 |
| Stryker | 1 | $92 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $54 |
| DJO, LLC | 2 | $30 |
| Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc. | 1 | $12 |
| Electronic Waveform Lab, Inc. | 1 | $4 |
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.
- COMPREHENSIVE$287
How this compares
$478 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 30 sports medicine providers in New Mexico.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Naproxen | 67 | $720 |
| Methylprednisolone | 22 | $196 |
| Oxycodone Hcl | 16 | $103 |
| Tramadol Hcl | 11 | $66 |
| Amoxicillin | 13 | $30 |
