Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (51.9%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 28.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $4,451, more than ten times the $125 reported in 2019. Among hospitalist clinicians in MO 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.
