Industry payments to physicians · Maryland · 2024

Maryland

In Maryland, drug and device makers reported $50M in general payments to 19,613 covered recipients (physicians and other clinicians) for 2024 — a mean of $2,543 each — plus $190M tied to research and $15M 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.
