Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.6%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Envista Holdings Corporation at 33.0% of the total. Among periodontics clinicians in TX 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.
Across 156 payments — averaging $604.49 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
