Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (47.4%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 45.3% of the total. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in WA 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.
