Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,081 and has fallen 66.3% since, to $364 in 2025.
Across 315 payments — averaging $13.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
