Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 19 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. at 38.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $220 and has fallen 87.7% since, to $27 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for foot & ankle surgery clinicians in ME, where the typical reported total is $723.
Across 19 payments — averaging $25.57 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

|---|---|---|
| Treace Medical Concepts, Inc. | 9 | $187 |

How this compares
$486 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 33 foot & ankle surgery providers in Maine.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Cephalexin | 33 | $199 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
