Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $340 of the $543 with a category attached, or 62.6%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 76.0% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $260 and has fallen 70.8% since, to $76 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for surgery clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $1,847.
Across 15 payments — averaging $36.18 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Intuitive Surgical | 9 | $412 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 2 | $37 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $35 |
| Organogenesis Inc. | 1 | $27 |
| W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. | 1 | $18 |
| Conmed Corporation | 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
$543 in reported general payments places this provider in the 30th percentile of 516 surgery providers in Tennessee.
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.
