Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $297,735 of the $297,735 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Merck accounts for 96.6% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $139,370 and has fallen 64.0% since, to $50,165 in 2021. Among diagnostic radiology clinicians in MA 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.
