KARL Storz Endoscopy-america reported the most payments naming Flex-X. Search your clinician to see whether they are among them — and what else they were paid for.

The per-transaction average — $704 — is the number that tells you what kind of spending this is. A few dollars means meals at product presentations, reported by the thousand. Hundreds or thousands means consulting, speaking or royalty arrangements with a much smaller group of physicians. Across all 243 providers the average total is $1,480, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
