Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $543,846 of the $557,659 with a category attached, or 97.5%. Cardinal Health Inc accounts for 93.2% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $125,803 and has fallen 50.9% since, to $61,712 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in NC 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 158 payments — averaging $3529.49 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
