Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,783 of the $4,234 with a category attached, or 89.4%. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,850, 2.3 times the $803 reported in 2023. Among physician assistant clinicians in NC 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 181 payments — averaging $23.39 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
