Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $144,150 of the $166,259 with a category attached, or 86.7%. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Encore Medical, LP at 49.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $110,331 and has fallen 69.0% since, to $34,171 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in IN with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

How this compares
$166,259 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 400 orthopaedic surgery providers in Indiana.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Mupirocin | 203 | $1,292 |
| Celecoxib | 44 | $1,180 |
| Cefadroxil | 13 | $313 |
| Cyclobenzaprine Hcl | 12 | $289 |
| Amoxicillin | 324 | $278 |
