Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (56.8%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 30 manufacturers reported payments, led by Mannkind Corporation at 41.3% of the total. Among adult health clinicians in KY 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 300 payments — averaging $32.30 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
