Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (53.5%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Merz North America, Inc. accounts for 91.5% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $42,938, more than ten times the $2,077 reported in 2021. Among nurse anesthetist, certified registered clinicians in MI 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 399 payments — averaging $157.00 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
