Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (57.7%), travel and lodging and royalties or licence payments — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 58 manufacturers reported payments, led by Aegis Spine, Inc. at 41.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $49,548 and has fallen 82.7% since, to $8,580 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in GA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

Medicare billing

Part B allowed, 2024

$283,818

Medicare patients

304

Services billed

7,828

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.
