Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by other: $670,253 of the $692,553 with a category attached, or 96.8%. Boston Scientific accounts for 96.8% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $511,832 and has fallen 99.5% since, to $2,400 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in WI 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.
Across 20 payments — averaging $34,628 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
