Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $1,196 of the $1,540 with a category attached, or 77.7%. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $436 and has fallen 76.6% since, to $102 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in WI 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 65 payments — averaging $23.69 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
