Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by grants: $26,561 of the $41,546 with a category attached, or 63.9%. Boston Scientific accounts for 67.5% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $31,577 and has fallen 82.0% since, to $5,697 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in MN 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 148 payments — averaging $280.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
