Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (48.7%), other and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Zimvie Inc. at 53.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $221,553 and has fallen 70.0% since, to $66,450 in 2025. Among dentist clinicians in MI 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 479 payments — averaging $1018.66 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
