Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — grants (39.4%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 39.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $10,210 and has fallen 50.9% since, to $5,011 in 2025.

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

$25,373 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 171 sports medicine providers in Virginia.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$521,693
Medicare patients
884
Services billed
36,158

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.
