Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $715,570 of the $847,316 with a category attached, or 84.5%. It is spread thinly across 41 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.0%.

Among gastroenterology clinicians in AZ 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.
