Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $59,900 of the $67,379 with a category attached, or 88.9%. Amgen accounts for 97.0% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $46,103 and has fallen 99.7% since, to $158 in 2023. Among rheumatology clinicians in IL 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.
