Globus Medical accounts for 62.0% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $10,509 and has fallen 96.9% since, to $325 in 2025.
Across 122 payments — averaging $196.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

How this compares
$23,965 in reported general payments places this provider in the 80th percentile of 301 neurological surgery providers in Ohio.
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.
