In Kansas, drug and device makers reported $32M in general payments to
8,832 covered recipients (physicians and other clinicians) for 2024 — a mean of
$3,676 each — plus $103M tied to research and $10M 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.

DERIVED — state totals,
per-physician means, and rankings are sums over those records.
A disclosure record of industry–physician financial ties in Kansas — not evidence that any
payment influenced care, not a measure of a physician's quality, and not advice
