Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $531,732 of the $535,976 with a category attached, or 99.2%. Exactech, Inc. accounts for 99.6% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $219,902 and has fallen 63.5% since, to $80,296 in 2024. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in GA 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.

|---|---|---|
| Exactech, Inc. | 28 | $533,931 |
| Arthrex | 3 | $1,169 |
| RSW Medical Company, Inc. | 5 | $876 |
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.
