Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 93 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Dendreon Pharmaceuticals LLC at 26.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $871 and has fallen 96.3% since, to $32 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in KY, where the typical reported total is $2,765.
Across 93 payments — averaging $21.85 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
