Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.6% of the total across 194 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 29.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,927, 2.4 times the $798 reported in 2021. Among acute care clinicians in TX 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 194 payments — averaging $30.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
