Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (55.0%), education and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 48.9% of the total. Among internal medicine clinicians in GA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 105 payments — averaging $67.39 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
