Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (52.1%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Ferring Pharmaceuticals Inc. accounts for 72.4% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $55,229 and has fallen 54.5% since, to $25,150 in 2025. Among reproductive endocrinology 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.
Across 272 payments — averaging $602.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
