Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (57.1%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Globus Medical at 49.1% of the total. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 139 payments — averaging $621.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$86,453 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 1,808 orthopaedic surgery providers in California.
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.
