Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $48,919 of the $58,114 with a category attached, or 84.2%. AbbVie accounts for 93.6% of it on its own, with 24 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $26,558 and has fallen 99.6% since, to $113 in 2025. Among dermatology clinicians in MI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 356 payments — averaging $163.24 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
