What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2022 at $108 and has fallen 70.2% since, to $32 in 2023.

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.

How this compares

Too few orthopedic surgery providers in Michiganto place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$30,080
Medicare patients
62
Services billed
828

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.
