Industry payments to physicians · Ohio · 2024

Ohio

In Ohio, drug and device makers reported $92M in general payments to 39,047 covered recipients (physicians and other clinicians) for 2024 — a mean of $2,364 each — plus $314M tied to research and $420M 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.

What this is — and is not

A disclosure record of industry–physician financial ties in Ohio — not evidence that any payment influenced care, not a measure of a physician's quality, and not advice about your own doctor. To verify a specific physician, search CMS Open Payments directly.
