Release-over-release change
General Payments changed from PY2023 to PY2024
Surgical Theater. Inc.'s CMS-reported General Payments decreased by $29.4K (−12.8%) 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: SURGICAL THEATER. INC.PY2023: SURGICAL THEATER. INC.PY2024: Surgical Theater. 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 Surgical Theater. Inc.
Three separate CMS disclosure tracks feed the all-tracks total above - General, Research, and Ownership/Investment - each reported under its own rules and combined here for one comparable figure. For Surgical Theater. 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. CMS releases each Program Year roughly 12 months after it ends; the methodology page covers the full standardization basis.
The 6-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 "Consulting Fee" at $113.2K, accounting for 56.6% of this company's General Payments and 2 transactions.
