Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (58.2%), gifts and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Hiossen, Inc. at 54.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $11,253 and has fallen 95.6% since, to $497 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in TN with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 103 payments — averaging $181.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
