Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (57.6%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Zimvie Inc. at 34.2% of the total. Among periodontics clinicians in MA 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 247 payments — averaging $112.39 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
