Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,092 of the $2,827 with a category attached, or 74.0%. Medtronic accounts for 65.9% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,021 and has fallen 91.8% since, to $166 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in VA, where the typical reported total is $2,608.
Across 25 payments — averaging $113.08 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Medtronic | 13 | $1,862 |
| Stryker | 6 | $670 |
| Providence Medical Technology, Inc. | 4 | $245 |
| Integra Lifesciences Corporation | 1 | $26 |
| Intrinsic Therapeutics | 1 | $24 |
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.
- CD HORIZON$1,351
- N/A$166
- NSE - BONE MILL$159
How this compares
$2,827 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 156 neurological surgery providers in Virginia.
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.
