Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (54.8%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Edwards Lifesciences at 33.5% of the total. Among acute care clinicians in CO 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 262 payments — averaging $72.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

| Lantheus Medical Imaging, Inc. | 1 | $30 |
| Octapharma USA, Inc. | 1 | $22 |
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.
