Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (53.7%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Boston Scientific accounts for 68.8% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $132,290 and has fallen 56.6% since, to $57,355 in 2025. Among interventional cardiology 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 374 payments — averaging $724.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
