Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $155,800 of the $204,390 with a category attached, or 76.2%. AbbVie accounts for 99.3% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $140,530 and has fallen 90.3% since, to $13,588 in 2022. Among gynecology clinicians in NY 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.
