Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $1,709,491 of the $2,258,466 with a category attached, or 75.7%. Amgen accounts for 98.4% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $797,563 and has fallen 82.2% since, to $141,640 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in MI 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.

What the payments were tied to

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.
