Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (42.0%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Abiomed accounts for 67.3% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $16,503 and has fallen 76.5% since, to $3,884 in 2025. Among critical care medicine clinicians in TN 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 201 payments — averaging $162.84 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
