Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (50.5%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Encore Medical, LP accounts for 89.5% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $4,461, more than ten times the $294 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in IN, where the typical reported total is $4,533.

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.

What the payments were tied to

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

$5,086 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 400 orthopaedic surgery providers in Indiana.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$92,506
Medicare patients
228
Services billed
1,213

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.
