Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (50.5%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 89.4% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $18,763 and has fallen 53.3% since, to $8,766 in 2025. Among pain medicine clinicians in MN 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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$199,287

Medicare patients

455

Services billed

2,689

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.
