Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Intuitive Surgical accounts for 83.5% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $6,539 and has fallen 72.6% since, to $1,789 in 2025.

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

$9,717 in reported general payments places this provider in the 70th percentile of 1,830 surgery providers in Texas.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024
$26,995
Medicare patients
52
Services billed
97

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.
