Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (44.0%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Alcon at 28.2% of the total. Among optometrist clinicians in MO 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 116 payments — averaging $65.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
