Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (50.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. CSL Behring accounts for 74.7% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $50,841 and has fallen 86.7% since, to $6,750 in 2024. Among nephrology 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 30 payments — averaging $3600.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
