Release-over-release change
General Payments changed from PY2023 to PY2024
Spinal Simplicity, LLC's CMS-reported General Payments decreased by $83.4K (−10.0%) 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: SPINAL SIMPLICITY, LLCPY2023: SPINAL SIMPLICITY, LLCPY2024: Spinal Simplicity, LLC. 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 Spinal Simplicity, LLC
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 Spinal Simplicity, LLC, 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.
The 4-category breakdown below covers general payments only (see our methodology for how research and ownership payments are reported separately). The largest general-payment category is "Travel and Lodging" at $215.1K, accounting for 28.6% of this company's General Payments and 958 transactions.

"Travel and Lodging" leads Spinal Simplicity, LLC's 4-category general-payment breakdown at $215.1K, 28.6% of the reported total.
