What this record shows
This record is dominated by travel and lodging: $51,892 of the $84,261 with a category attached, or 61.6%. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 88.3% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in LA 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.
