Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (30.9%), grants and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Biosense Webster, Inc. at 31.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $26,426, more than ten times the $37 reported in 2023. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in IL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 119 payments — averaging $244.68 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
