Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by royalties or licence payments: $73,704 of the $73,732 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Medline Industries LP accounts for 77.7% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $48,106, more than ten times the $3,748 reported in 2019. Among hand surgery clinicians in OH with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$111,390

Medicare patients

227

Services billed

1,006

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
