Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $32,750 of the $37,189 with a category attached, or 88.1%. Boston Scientific accounts for 94.2% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $16,301 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $34 in 2024. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
