Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (55.3%), grants and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 65.6% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in VA 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 202 payments — averaging $202.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
