Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $3,180,835 of the $3,196,366 with a category attached, or 99.5%. Arthrex accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $648,748, 2.2 times the $295,783 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MI 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$59,219

Medicare patients

211

Services billed

578

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.
