Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — royalties or licence payments (48.4%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Patterson Companies, Inc. at 51.2% of the total. Among orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics clinicians in NY 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 80 payments — averaging $1886.28 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
