Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (45.4%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 27 manufacturers reported payments, led by CSL Behring at 29.0% of the total. Among pediatrics clinicians in IL 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 310 payments — averaging $1026.90 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
