Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 42 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $505 and has fallen 94.5% since, to $28 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for family medicine clinicians in IN, where the typical reported total is $501.
Across 42 payments — averaging $14.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
