Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (48.9%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 57.9% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $6,769, more than ten times the $104 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $14,594.
Across 155 payments — averaging $79.06 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
