Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (43.3%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Globus Medical accounts for 98.4% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $92,598 and has fallen 75.9% since, to $22,338 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NV 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.
Across 259 payments — averaging $1674.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
