Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $117,074 of the $137,174 with a category attached, or 85.3%. It is spread thinly across 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.1%. 2025 is the largest year on record at $45,259, 6.0 times the $7,550 reported in 2020. Among emergency medicine 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 112 payments — averaging $1224.76 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
