Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (50.5%), royalties or licence payments and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Ortho Development Corporation at 28.5% of the total. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NY 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 258 payments — averaging $1295.12 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
