Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (53.1%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medical Device Business Services, Inc. at 53.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $44,882 and has fallen 96.7% since, to $1,486 in 2025. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in MO 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 140 payments — averaging $581.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
