Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (43.3%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Edwards Lifesciences accounts for 64.7% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in OH 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 465 payments — averaging $1245.73 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
