Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $131 of the $147 with a category attached, or 89.1%. It is spread thinly across 8 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $83 and has fallen 73.3% since, to $22 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery clinicians in MI, where the typical reported total is $3,012.
Across 8 payments — averaging $18.42 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$147 in reported general payments places this provider in the 5th percentile of 829 orthopaedic surgery providers in Michigan.
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.
