Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $145,455 of the $145,455 with a category attached, or 100.0%. Merck accounts for 62.7% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $57,710 and has fallen 52.9% since, to $27,195 in 2024. Among hematology & oncology clinicians in MA 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.
