Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,247 of the $3,660 with a category attached, or 61.4%. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. accounts for 70.8% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $2,554 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $31 in 2025. Among surgical clinicians in ID 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.
Across 35 payments — averaging $104.57 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.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. | 6 | $2,591 |
| Stryker | 15 | $575 |
| Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc. | 6 | $305 |
| Aerin Medical Inc. | 2 | $47 |
| Optinose US, Inc. | 1 | $39 |
| Intersect ENT, Inc. | 2 | $35 |
| Cochlear Americas | 1 | $31 |
| Phathom Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 1 | $24 |
| Ambu Inc. | 1 | $13 |
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
$3,660 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 78 surgical providers in Idaho.
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.
