Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — grants (47.2%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 52.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $26,586, more than ten times the $511 reported in 2022. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 234 payments — averaging $173.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
