Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (38.9%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 67.6% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $7,685 and has fallen 98.6% since, to $105 in 2024. Among foot & ankle surgery clinicians in NJ 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 166 payments — averaging $88.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
