Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $66,375 of the $102,923 with a category attached, or 64.5%. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 98.3% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among acute care clinicians in MI 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.

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.
