Intuitive Surgical, Inc.'s CMS-reported General Payments increased by $2.2M (+3.1%) from PY2023 to PY2024.
How this year-over-year comparison is scoped
The comparison uses consecutive CMS program years only (current = prior + 1) from the manufacturer General Payments summary and excludes research and ownership or investment records. Non-consecutive year pairs are not shown as year-over-year change. This General Payments figure is not the all-tracks company total in the hero.
CMS source labels for this exact identifier: PY2022: INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC.PY2023: INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC.PY2024: INTUITIVE SURGICAL, INC.. Matching identifiers support a bounded record comparison; a label difference would be reported as unresolved rather than treated as a corporate event.

What the Data Shows for Intuitive Surgical, Inc.
CMS Open Payments is not a single ledger: the all-tracks total shown above is General Payments plus Research Payments plus Ownership/Investment interests, each with its own disclosure rules. For Intuitive Surgical, Inc., that total blends General Payments (day-to-day consulting, meals, travel and speaking fees, shown separately above) with Research and Ownership/Investment interest records, each governed by its own CMS reporting rules. Data for a given Program Year arrives roughly a year after the period it covers; our methodology page documents the release cadence and how we standardize the tracks for cross-company comparison.
"Education" leads the 12-category general-payment breakdown below at $40.0M (53.9% of General Payments, 18,771 transactions) - see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately.
