Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $253,150 of the $346,074 with a category attached, or 73.1%. Globus Medical accounts for 70.6% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $88,177, 2.5 times the $35,754 reported in 2019. Among pediatric orthopaedic surgery clinicians in OH 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.
