Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (52.1%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Midway Dental Supply, LLC at 41.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $186,369 and has fallen 86.9% since, to $24,375 in 2025. Among general practice 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.
Across 232 payments — averaging $2600.12 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
