Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (48.8%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Mylan Inc. accounts for 80.6% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $4,967 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $15 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in MI, where the typical reported total is $6,857.
Across 70 payments — averaging $87.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
