Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (46.8%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Philips North America LLC at 47.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $83,300 and has fallen 52.2% since, to $39,833 in 2023. Among clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in OH 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.
