Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by other: $78,247 of the $79,336 with a category attached, or 98.6%. Linvatec Corporation accounts for 98.6% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $69,327 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $51 in 2025. Among foot & ankle surgery clinicians in NC 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 32 payments — averaging $2479.24 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$79,336 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 196 foot & ankle surgery providers in North Carolina.
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.
