Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $240,356 of the $278,460 with a category attached, or 86.3%. AbbVie accounts for 99.6% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $78,535 and has fallen 64.6% since, to $27,782 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in IN 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 297 payments — averaging $937.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
