Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $4,447 of the $4,688 with a category attached, or 94.9%. Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. accounts for 67.7% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $4,447 and has fallen 96.0% since, to $180 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in MI 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.

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.
