Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $120,000 of the $131,063 with a category attached, or 91.6%. Linkbio Corp accounts for 91.6% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $122,629 and has fallen 95.6% since, to $5,338 in 2025. Among orthopaedic surgery 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 136 payments — averaging $963.70 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
