Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (47.1%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by ZOLL Services LLC (a/k/a ZOLL Lifecor Corp) at 51.7% of the total. Among clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in PA 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 320 payments — averaging $2131.04 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
