Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $14,447 of the $22,475 with a category attached, or 64.3%. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 28.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $14,151, more than ten times the $462 reported in 2023. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in KS 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 153 payments — averaging $146.90 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
