Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $43,320 of the $50,523 with a category attached, or 85.7%. EMD Serono, Inc. accounts for 61.8% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $13,363 and has fallen 75.3% since, to $3,304 in 2025. Among neurology clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
