Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (47.6%), royalties or licence payments and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Limacorporate S.p.a. accounts for 86.5% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $46,499 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $552 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in IL 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.

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.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$337,823
Medicare patients
739
Services billed
2,820

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.
