Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (44.5%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 73.0% of it on its own, with 20 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $6,093 and has fallen 99.0% since, to $63 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for orthopaedic surgery of the spine clinicians in MI, where the typical reported total is $10,194.
Across 90 payments — averaging $120.98 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
