Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $146,725 of the $232,738 with a category attached, or 63.0%. AbbVie accounts for 99.0% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in GA 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.
