Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (50.5%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Organogenesis Inc. accounts for 98.5% of it on its own, with 12 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $90,630 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $116 in 2025. Among podiatrist clinicians in GA 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 571 payments — averaging $390.87 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
