Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (45.2%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 80.4% of it on its own, with 23 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $5,534 and has fallen 95.1% since, to $273 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in AL 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 94 payments — averaging $70.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
