Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $357,454 of the $578,156 with a category attached, or 61.8%. Pfizer accounts for 86.4% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among family clinicians in IL 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 673 payments — averaging $859.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
