Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $626 of the $786 with a category attached, or 79.7%. It is spread thinly across 10 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $302 and has fallen 84.2% since, to $48 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for surgery clinicians in MD, where the typical reported total is $976.
Across 13 payments — averaging $60.43 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Cook Medical LLC | 1 | $159 |
| W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. | 2 | $130 |
| Medical Device Business Services, Inc. | 1 | $125 |
| Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. | 1 | $120 |
| Smith+Nephew | 2 | $72 |
| Davol Inc. | 1 | $48 |
| Vapotherm Inc | 2 | $41 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $40 |
| TEI Biosciences Inc | 1 | $31 |
| Integra Lifesciences Corporation | 1 | $20 |
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
$786 in reported general payments places this provider in the 45th percentile of 493 surgery providers in Maryland.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Oxycodone-AcetaminophenOxycodone Hcl/Acetaminophen | 27 | $124 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
