Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (50.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc. accounts for 65.6% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $46,257 and has fallen 99.1% since, to $427 in 2025. Among reproductive endocrinology clinicians in IL 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 223 payments — averaging $429.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
