Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — gifts (29.6%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 11 manufacturers reported payments, led by Straumann USA LLC at 30.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $11,917 and has fallen 90.4% since, to $1,143 in 2025. Among general practice clinicians in TN 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 180 payments — averaging $117.48 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
