Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $17,500 of the $23,461 with a category attached, or 74.6%. Abbott accounts for 69.0% of it on its own, with 25 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $21,724, more than ten times the $319 reported in 2022. Among hospitalist clinicians in MO 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.
Across 98 payments — averaging $239.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
