What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2019 at $91,564 and has fallen 98.7% since, to $1,220 in 2025. Among pulmonary disease 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.
