Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.0%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Heron Therapeutics, Inc. accounts for 89.3% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $89,865 and has fallen 91.5% since, to $7,636 in 2024. Among surgery clinicians in NC 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 318 payments — averaging $697.73 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
