Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (34.0%), food and beverage and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 40.0% of the total. Among surgery clinicians in PA 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 191 payments — averaging $207.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
