Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (55.2%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Biogen at 43.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $71,301 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $50 in 2024. Among neurology clinicians in MA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.
