Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by other: $60,077 of the $71,822 with a category attached, or 83.6%. Medshape, Inc. accounts for 90.1% of it on its own, with 21 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $63,730 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $23 in 2025. Among foot and ankle surgery clinicians in VA 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.

How this compares
$71,822 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 260 foot and ankle 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.
Most prescribed under Part D

| Hydrocodone-AcetaminophenHydrocodone/Acetaminophen | 35 | $309 |
