Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,733 of the $4,657 with a category attached, or 80.2%. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Alcon at 32.8% of the total. Among optometrist clinicians in MI 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 167 payments — averaging $27.89 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
