Orthopaedic Surgery of the Spine in New York
161 providers, $55,205,703 in total reported payments from drug and device makers. Ranked below by lifetime general payments. The median provider in this group received $11,594.
Ranking high here usually means a consulting or royalty arrangement, not wrongdoing. Payments to device inventors and trial investigators are legal, disclosed, and concentrated in a small number of people — which is exactly why a list like this has a steep top and a long flat tail.
What Medicare pays orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in New York
Across 108 orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in New York who billed Original Medicare Part B in 2024, Medicare allowed $16,975,509 in total — an average of $157,181 each, of which $156,636 was for services and the rest for drugs administered in the office.
This is not a salary. The rest is what Medicare allowed for services these clinicians billed — Original Medicare fee-for-service only. It excludes Medicare Advantage, which now covers more than half of Medicare enrollees, along with Medicaid and every commercial insurer, so for most clinicians it is a fraction of their practice. It is also gross revenue: staff, rent, supplies and malpractice premiums all come out of it before anyone is paid. Anyone quoting a figure like this as physician pay is misreading it.
