What Medicare Part D paid pharmacies for Q-FIX, and the payments that named it as the associated device or medical supply under the Sunshine Act for program years 2019–2025.
Was your doctor paid by Smith+Nephew?
Smith+Nephew reported the most payments naming Q-FIX. Search your clinician to see whether they are among them — and what else they were paid for.
Finding a payment is not a finding of wrongdoing — most reported payments are a meal during a presentation. What matters is the kind, the size, and how it compares with their peers, which is what the profile shows.

The per-transaction average — $2,280 — is the number that tells you what kind of spending this is. A few dollars means meals at product presentations, reported by the thousand. Hundreds or thousands means consulting, speaking or royalty arrangements with a much smaller group of physicians. Across all 2,619 providers the average total is $7,047, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
