Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.5% of the total across 46 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 15 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 46 payments — averaging $27.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Novo Nordisk$270
- Medtronic$216
- Insulet Corporation$198
- Dexcom, Inc.$178
- Ascendis Pharma Endocrinology Inc$99
- Nevro Corp.$60
- plus $262 from 9 others
Across 509 payments — averaging $1631.77 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

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.
- DEXCOM CGM$129
- Omnipod$113
How this compares
Too few pediatric endocrinology providers in South Dakotato place this figure against a meaningful peer group, so we don't.
