Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.9% of the total across 339 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,059 and has fallen 96.2% since, to $156 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in MO, where the typical reported total is $10,448.
Across 339 payments — averaging $34.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
