How much do pediatric gastroenterology providers in North Carolina receive from drug companies?

Drug and device makers reported $263,645 in payments to 47 pediatric gastroenterology providers in North Carolina. The median provider received $309. Most individual payments nationally are meals worth under $20, so totals are driven by a small number of consulting and royalty arrangements rather than by typical practice.

Does a high ranking here mean a doctor did something wrong?

No. Payments to device inventors and clinical trial investigators are legal, disclosed, and concentrated in a small number of physicians. A high position usually reflects a royalty or consulting arrangement, not misconduct.
