Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $342,045 of the $526,890 with a category attached, or 64.9%. AbbVie accounts for 93.7% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $162,950 and has fallen 58.1% since, to $68,201 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in TN 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.
