Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Arthrex accounts for 60.9% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,808 and has fallen 91.3% since, to $330 in 2025.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$11,393

Medicare patients

Services billed

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.
