Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 83 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,618 and has fallen 93.8% since, to $100 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $7,646.
Across 83 payments — averaging $25.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
