Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $284,540 of the $305,235 with a category attached, or 93.2%. AbbVie accounts for 99.9% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among surgical clinicians in GA 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 518 payments — averaging $589.26 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
