Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Intuitive Surgical accounts for 78.6% of it on its own, with 25 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $6,456 and has fallen 60.8% since, to $2,533 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

$12,907 in reported general payments places this provider in the 75th percentile of 1,830 surgery providers in Texas.
