Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by ownership interests: $547,733 of the $710,209 with a category attached, or 77.1%. Anika Therapeutics, Inc. accounts for 87.2% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $563,969 and has fallen 87.2% since, to $71,935 in 2022. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MD with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Anika Therapeutics, Inc. | 4 | $619,443 |
| Smith+Nephew | 6 | $90,766 |
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
$710,209 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 378 orthopaedic surgery providers in Maryland.
