Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (58.9%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 59.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $6,429 and has fallen 50.6% since, to $3,177 in 2025. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in SC 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 199 payments — averaging $106.87 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
