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	4	$313
AbbVie	2	$259
Davol Inc.	2	$180
Medtronic	2	$28
TEI Biosciences Inc	2	$24
TELA Bio, Inc.	2	$21

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.

How this compares

Too few surgical critical care providers in Minnesotato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$48,557

Medicare patients

Services billed

223

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.
