Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (46.8%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 39 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 27.0% of the total. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in MO 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 390 payments — averaging $90.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
