Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (45.1%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 67.7% of it on its own, with 18 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $104,162 and has fallen 59.7% since, to $41,949 in 2025. Among dermatology clinicians in IL 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 295 payments — averaging $1043.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
