Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 12 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by Orthopediatrics Corp. at 60.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $135 and has fallen 86.1% since, to $19 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in IL, where the typical reported total is $3,100.
Across 12 payments — averaging $29.61 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.

| Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. | 1 | $108 |
| Smith+Nephew | 1 | $23 |
| Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. | 1 | $12 |
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.
- CRYSVITA$108
