Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $85,893 of the $125,234 with a category attached, or 68.6%. AbbVie accounts for 99.5% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $43,043 and has fallen 64.8% since, to $15,158 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in IA 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.
