Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (53.2%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 62.3% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $7,054, 9.8 times the $722 reported in 2022.

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.

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.
