Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (51.8%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. accounts for 72.3% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Among pediatric endocrinology 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 18 payments — averaging $1599.47 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$21K

General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. | 11 | $20,828 |
| Soleno Therapeutics, Inc. | 7 | $7,963 |
What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
How this compares
$28,791 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 168 pediatric endocrinology providers in California.
