Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $13,410 of the $16,028 with a category attached, or 83.7%. Pfizer accounts for 83.7% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among pediatrics clinicians in MN 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 12 payments — averaging $1335.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Pfizer$13K
- Bayer$3K
- Sobi, Inc$53
Across 8 payments — averaging $56,196 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

- Eli Lilly$57K
- Pfizer$10K
What the payments were for

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
How this compares
$16,028 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 397 pediatrics providers in Minnesota.
