Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (54.8%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Biotronik Inc. at 45.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $7,317 and has fallen 92.8% since, to $530 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in HI 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.
Across 117 payments — averaging $89.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
