Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (45.8%), royalties or licence payments and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Globus Medical accounts for 66.2% of it on its own, with 25 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $217,528, 3.8 times the $56,978 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery of the spine 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.
Across 453 payments — averaging $1827.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
