Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 186 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 37 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 25.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,868 and has fallen 70.4% since, to $552 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 186 payments — averaging $20.36 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
