Is Dr. Maruska experienced with extended-release steroid injection (zilretta)?
Based on Medicare claims data, Dr. Maruska performed 8,481 extended-release steroid injection (zilretta) services. These records cover Medicare fee-for-service activity, including eligible younger beneficiaries; they do not measure total practice volume or clinical quality.
Does Dr. Maruska receive payments from pharmaceutical companies?

Disclosure alone does not establish their legality or effect on care.

How do Dr. Maruska's costs compare to other sports medicine physicians in Stephenville?

Procedure-level data above shows both what was submitted and what Medicare paid for each service type.
What does Data Coverage mean?
Data Coverage (currently Very High for Dr. Maruska) measures how much public federal data is available about a provider. It is not a quality rating. A "Very High" or "High" level means the provider has data across multiple federal sources (NPPES, PECOS, Medicare Utilization, Open Payments), indicating the presence of registry, enrollment, activity or payment records, not verified experience or clinical quality. A "Low" or "Moderate" level may simply mean the provider is newer, does not see Medicare patients, or has not received any industry payments — none of which are inherently negative.
