Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 91.8% of the total across 136 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,241 and has fallen 98.9% since, to $25 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in IN, where the typical reported total is $2,585.
Across 136 payments — averaging $20.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
