Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $487,430 of the $539,154 with a category attached, or 90.4%. Atricure, Inc. accounts for 100.0% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $147,022, 9.4 times the $15,600 reported in 2019. Among general practice clinicians in KY 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 443 payments — averaging $1217.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
