Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,470 of the $2,751 with a category attached, or 89.8%. It is spread thinly across 35 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,395, more than ten times the $116 reported in 2021.
Across 83 payments — averaging $33.14 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
