No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (54.6%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 55.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $49,510 and has fallen 63.5% since, to $18,048 in 2025. Among maternal & fetal medicine 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.
