Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (57.0%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 37.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $27,268 and has fallen 95.5% since, to $1,229 in 2024. Among anatomic pathology clinicians in MD with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 64 payments — averaging $818.51 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
