Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.0% of the total across 320 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Viiv Healthcare Company at 36.2% of the total. Among physician assistant clinicians in IL 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.
