Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $122,225 of the $155,317 with a category attached, or 78.7%.

Among neurology clinicians in MO 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.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
