Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $278,496 of the $306,949 with a category attached, or 90.7%. AbbVie accounts for 94.1% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among psychiatry clinicians in NE 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.
