Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 198 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 25.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,099 and has fallen 98.6% since, to $29 in 2024. Among physician assistant clinicians in RI 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 198 payments — averaging $15.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
