Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (39.2%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Merz North America, Inc. accounts for 65.3% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in FL 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 132 payments — averaging $248.06 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
