Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 62 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $792 and has fallen 92.5% since, to $59 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in NC, where the typical reported total is $1,694.
Across 62 payments — averaging $24.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
