Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $109,019 of the $126,275 with a category attached, or 86.3%. AbbVie accounts for 98.4% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $43,736 and has fallen 98.1% since, to $818 in 2025. Among plastic surgery clinicians in OH 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.
