Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $1,229,513 of the $1,229,543 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Merck accounts for 89.4% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $308,900 and has fallen 83.2% since, to $51,975 in 2024. Among infectious disease clinicians in PA 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.

Who reported the general payments

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
