Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (49.0%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 54.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $8,536 and has fallen 70.8% since, to $2,488 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in PR with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 68 payments — averaging $225.27 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
