Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (42.8%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Global Blood Therapeutics, Inc. at 56.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $58,568 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $25 in 2023. Among pediatric hematology-oncology clinicians in MI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 104 payments — averaging $1147.09 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
