Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $153,947 of the $192,305 with a category attached, or 80.1%. Medical Device Business Services, Inc. accounts for 64.7% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $70,638, 2.2 times the $32,800 reported in 2021. Among surgical clinicians in SC 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.
