Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (55.0%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Genentech USA, Inc. accounts for 77.7% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $15,165 and has fallen 96.5% since, to $532 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in KY 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 188 payments — averaging $172.78 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
