Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (57.8%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Ferring International Center SA accounts for 72.1% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $13,972 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $166 in 2025. Among reproductive endocrinology clinicians in IL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 76 payments — averaging $229.99 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
