Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (53.7%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 49.2% of the total. Among internal medicine 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.
