Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (50.3%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Stryker at 58.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,585, 3.1 times the $828 reported in 2019.
Across 47 payments — averaging $109.26 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.

| Stryker | 18 | $2,991 |
| Si-bone, Inc. | 3 | $647 |

| The Orthopaedic Implant Company | 1 | $85 |
| Integra Lifesciences Corporation | 1 | $83 |
| Urgo Medical North America, LLC | 1 | $75 |
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
Too few orthopaedic trauma providers in Minnesotato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
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 Hcl | 33 | $135 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
