Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (59.0%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. It is spread thinly across 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.4%. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $80,225 and has fallen 97.3% since, to $2,177 in 2022. Among internal medicine clinicians in IL 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.

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

$161,042 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 5,182 internal medicine providers in Illinois.
