Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (48.8%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Abbott accounts for 69.3% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,150 and has fallen 70.0% since, to $1,243 in 2025.
Across 51 payments — averaging $169.88 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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
$8,664 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 498 surgery providers in Minnesota.
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.
