Was your doctor paid by Choice Spine, LLC?
Choice Spine, LLC reported the most payments naming VEO. Search your clinician to see whether they are among them — and what else they were paid for.

The per-transaction average — $1,132 — 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 141 providers the average total is $1,735, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
