Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $174,968 of the $179,905 with a category attached, or 97.3%. Boehringer Ingelheim accounts for 80.3% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $111,689 and has fallen 99.5% since, to $595 in 2025. Among pulmonary disease clinicians in CT 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.
