Utah
In Utah, drug and device makers reported $29M in general payments to
8,578 covered recipients (physicians and other clinicians) for 2024 — a mean of
$3,410 each — plus $100M tied to research and $13M 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 Utah — 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.
