Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $144,221 of the $157,672 with a category attached, or 91.5%. The Institute Of Musculoskeletal Science And Education accounts for 96.5% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $51,041 and has fallen 90.5% since, to $4,862 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

General payments by program year
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
$157,672 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,048 orthopaedic surgery providers in Pennsylvania.
Medicare billing
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.
