Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $68,707 of the $106,842 with a category attached, or 64.3%. Pfizer accounts for 64.4% of it on its own, with 20 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in SC 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 116 payments — averaging $921.05 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
