Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — education (48.1%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 49.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $18,410 and has fallen 99.2% since, to $142 in 2025. Among critical care medicine clinicians in CO 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.
