Industry payments to physicians · Hawaii · 2024

Hawaii

In Hawaii, drug and device makers reported $33M in general payments to 3,617 covered recipients (physicians and other clinicians) for 2024 — a mean of $9,036 each — plus $9M tied to research and $110M in ownership interests.

A payment is a disclosed financial tie, not proof of wrongdoing — many are research grants, consulting fees, or royalties a physician earns on a device they invented. Transparency, not a verdict.
