The per-transaction average — $850 — 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 2,171 providers the average total is $3,080, but that average hides a very steep distribution.
