Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $47,562 of the $70,923 with a category attached, or 67.1%. AbbVie accounts for 89.5% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $28,489 and has fallen 93.2% since, to $1,932 in 2025. Among oral and maxillofacial surgery clinicians in VA 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.
Across 173 payments — averaging $409.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
