Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $219,769 of the $312,411 with a category attached, or 70.3%. Medtronic accounts for 92.1% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $134,052, more than ten times the $518 reported in 2019. Among pediatric cardiology 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.
