Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.8% of the total across 107 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 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,060 and has fallen 97.3% since, to $29 in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in NJ, where the typical reported total is $2,436.
Across 107 payments — averaging $12.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
