Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.7%), grants and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 38.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $5,677, 9.5 times the $595 reported in 2022. Among hospitalist clinicians in WI 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 80 payments — averaging $95.29 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
