Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (39.9%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Arthrex at 53.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,085 and has fallen 98.5% since, to $32 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for sports medicine clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $1,959.
Across 26 payments — averaging $88.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$2,309 in reported general payments places this provider in the 50th percentile of 127 sports medicine providers in Missouri.
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.
Most prescribed under Part D
| Drug | Claims | Cost to plans & patients |

| Celecoxib | 18 | $353 |
Paid to pharmacies, not to this prescriber.
