What this record shows

Intuitive Surgical accounts for 68.3% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $15,532 and has fallen 93.0% since, to $1,087 in 2025.

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.

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.

How this compares

$23,116 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 182 thoracic surgery (cardiothoracic vascular surgery) providers in Michigan.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$86,279
Medicare patients
124
Services billed
199

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.
