Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (45.7%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 85.0% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $29,821, 4.6 times the $6,463 reported in 2019. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in MN with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 96 payments — averaging $973.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
