Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $723,920 of the $768,870 with a category attached, or 94.2%. Exactech, Inc. accounts for 96.0% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $205,112, more than ten times the $19,260 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

How this compares
$768,870 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 1,263 orthopaedic surgery providers in Florida.
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.

| Mefenamic Acid | 14 | $9,062 |
