Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $86,100 of the $108,095 with a category attached, or 79.7%. Lilly USA, LLC accounts for 98.9% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $81,428, more than ten times the $14 reported in 2020. Among internal medicine clinicians in GA 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 431 payments — averaging $250.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
