Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (58.5%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 97.2% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $36,602 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $37 in 2024. Among reproductive endocrinology clinicians in PA 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 49 payments — averaging $878.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
