Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $37,636 of the $58,945 with a category attached, or 63.8%. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Merck at 48.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $41,823 and has fallen 97.3% since, to $1,109 in 2022. Among infectious disease clinicians in IL 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.

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.
