Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.5% of the total across 99 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by Bausch & Lomb, A Division Of Bausch Health US, LLC at 28.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,195 and has fallen 58.7% since, to $908 in 2023. Among optometrist 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 99 payments — averaging $61.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
