Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (49.9%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 60.5% of it on its own, with 30 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among psychiatry clinicians in GA 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 255 payments — averaging $715.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
