Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (50.7%), food and beverage and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 42.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $20,951, more than ten times the $53 reported in 2019. Among hospitalist clinicians in NH 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 216 payments — averaging $142.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
