Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (40.5%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Precision Spine, Inc. at 47.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $29,017 and has fallen 89.4% since, to $3,075 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery clinicians in NJ 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 130 payments — averaging $453.06 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
