Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,180 of the $3,772 with a category attached, or 84.3%. Medtronic accounts for 61.8% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,698, more than ten times the $67 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in MS, where the typical reported total is $7,952.
Across 141 payments — averaging $26.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
