Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $25,000 of the $34,576 with a category attached, or 72.3%. Boston Scientific accounts for 79.6% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $27,192 and has fallen 93.0% since, to $1,897 in 2025. Among pediatric gastroenterology clinicians in WI 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.
