Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $89,576 of the $96,884 with a category attached, or 92.5%. AbbVie accounts for 94.6% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $30,767 and has fallen 70.1% since, to $9,192 in 2025. Among adult health clinicians in IL 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.

General payments by program year
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.

| Galderma Laboratories, L.p. | 16 | $5,143 |

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.

$96,884 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 553 adult health providers in Illinois.
