Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 94.9% of the total across 29 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Smith+Nephew accounts for 64.8% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $863 and has fallen 80.1% since, to $171 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $3,375.

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.

Stryker	9	$384
Zimmer Biomet	1	$136
Conformis, Inc.	1	$89
Johnson & Johnson(2 entities)	2	$42

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$310,699

Medicare patients

403

Services billed

3,304

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.
