Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (46.2%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 9 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sanofi at 40.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $20,893 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $43 in 2025. Among hematology & oncology clinicians in MI 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.
