Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (43.3%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 83.7% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,936 and has fallen 88.4% since, to $226 in 2025.
Across 39 payments — averaging $109.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Intuitive Surgical | 23 | $3,584 |
| Teleflex LLC | 5 | $425 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 5 | $103 |

| Medical Device Business Services, Inc. | 1 | $48 |
| Merck | 2 | $37 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $31 |
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.
- Da Vinci Surgical System$3,183
- TITAN SGS BAILOUT CHUCK$165
- Titan SGS$144
How this compares
$4,282 in reported general payments places this provider in the 65th percentile of 1,180 surgery providers in Illinois.
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.
