Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (42.9%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Getinge USA Sales, LLC accounts for 82.9% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $7,338 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $16 in 2025. Among surgical clinicians in GA 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 113 payments — averaging $128.98 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
