Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (51.4%), speaking fees and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 59.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $4,188 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $31 in 2023. Among general practice clinicians in MO 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 145 payments — averaging $35.74 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
