Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $34,810 of the $47,031 with a category attached, or 74.0%. Merz North America, Inc. accounts for 85.3% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $22,129, more than ten times the $2,165 reported in 2021. Among family 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.
Across 441 payments — averaging $106.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
