Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — ownership interests (54.5%), speaking fees and other — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Independent Dental Solutions LLC accounts for 78.1% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2023 is the largest year on record at $192,489, more than ten times the $10,607 reported in 2019. Among dentist clinicians in WI 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 58 payments — averaging $9217.57 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
