Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (58.3%), other and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 33 manufacturers reported payments, led by Lupin Inc. at 31.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $107,616 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $80 in 2024. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in OH 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 453 payments — averaging $373.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
