Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (49.6%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by Philips North America LLC at 59.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $30,931, 5.8 times the $5,355 reported in 2019. Among emergency medicine clinicians in PA 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.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
