Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (53.7%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Arthrex accounts for 83.3% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $341,363, more than ten times the $30,699 reported in 2019. Among orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in CA 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
$294,442
Medicare patients
409
Services billed
1,398

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.
