Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $49,000 of the $60,584 with a category attached, or 80.9%. AbbVie accounts for 92.7% of it on its own, with 31 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $53,671 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $34 in 2022. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in NC 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.
