Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $56,696 of the $91,648 with a category attached, or 61.9%. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Eli Lilly at 39.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $55,120 and has fallen 94.0% since, to $3,317 in 2023. Among pain medicine 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.
