No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.5%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 39 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.9%. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $159,431 and has fallen 74.2% since, to $41,174 in 2025. Among ophthalmology clinicians in NJ 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.
