Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (60.0%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 98.2% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $60,531 and has fallen 68.5% since, to $19,090 in 2025.

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.

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

$88,328 in reported general payments places this provider in the 85th percentile of 116 neurological surgery providers in Louisiana.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$112,584
Medicare patients
131
Services billed
317

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.
