Has Sam Nia received payments from drug or device companies?

Yes. Drug and device makers reported $79,647 in general payments to Sam Nia across 151 transactions between 2019–2025. Most Open Payments records nationally are meals worth under $20; a reported payment is not evidence of wrongdoing.

Does a payment mean Sam Nia did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (54.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Bioventus LLC accounts for 91.2% of it on its own, with 10 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $38,142 and has fallen 90.2% since, to $3,741 in 2025. Among anesthesiology clinicians in MA 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.
