Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $61,404 of the $72,524 with a category attached, or 84.7%. Stryker accounts for 84.8% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among sports medicine clinicians in AL 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.

Who reported the general payments

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

$72,524 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 108 sports medicine providers in Alabama.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$555,640
Medicare patients
856
Services billed
6,664

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.
