Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $64,091 of the $68,606 with a category attached, or 93.4%. Incyte Corporation accounts for 75.2% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $34,711, more than ten times the $1,160 reported in 2021. Among pediatric hematology-oncology clinicians in OH 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.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
