Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $974,319 of the $1,532,911 with a category attached, or 63.6%. Medtronic accounts for 68.3% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $361,522, 2.3 times the $155,460 reported in 2019. Among pediatric cardiology 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 1,002 payments — averaging $1529.85 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
