The per-transaction average — $146 — 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 98 providers the average total is $173, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
