Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $5,280 of the $7,460 with a category attached, or 70.8%. Merck accounts for 71.3% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $3,000 and has fallen 98.2% since, to $53 in 2024. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in CO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 21 payments — averaging $355.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
