No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (38.0%), grants and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 94.9% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in CO 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.
