Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $158,213 of the $249,951 with a category attached, or 63.3%. AbbVie accounts for 80.9% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $166,631 and has fallen 100.0% since, to $81 in 2025. Among surgery clinicians in OH 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.
