Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (48.4%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 62.4% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $11,724 and has fallen 96.8% since, to $376 in 2025. Among neurological surgery clinicians in NE 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.
Across 92 payments — averaging $355.19 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$32,677 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 49 neurological surgery providers in Nebraska.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
