Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $30,750 of the $35,805 with a category attached, or 85.9%. AbbVie accounts for 91.5% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $30,259 and has fallen 99.6% since, to $131 in 2025. Among reproductive endocrinology 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.
