Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — education (57.5%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 99.5% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $116,548 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $300 in 2023. Among colon & rectal surgery clinicians in NY 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.
