Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by other: $90,337 of the $134,465 with a category attached, or 67.2%. Zimmer Biomet accounts for 68.0% of it on its own, with 32 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $93,143 and has fallen 94.0% since, to $5,612 in 2025. Among sports medicine clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$86,873
Medicare patients
137
Services billed
2,255

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.
