Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (49.7%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by USWM, LLC at 49.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $14,683 and has fallen 99.6% since, to $63 in 2024. Among pediatric hematology-oncology clinicians in IN with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 14 payments — averaging $1870.09 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
