Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $128,426 of the $156,938 with a category attached, or 81.8%. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 42.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $67,767 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $32 in 2025. Among pain medicine clinicians in WI 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.
