Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (48.2%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by The Institute Of Musculoskeletal Science And Education at 26.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,524 and has fallen 75.8% since, to $369 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for neurological surgery clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $3,235.
Across 39 payments — averaging $77.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
