Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $140,795 of the $163,392 with a category attached, or 86.2%. AbbVie accounts for 98.7% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $51,276 and has fallen 76.2% since, to $12,199 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in SC 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.
