Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Reporting peaked in 2022 at $122,684 and has fallen 74.9% since, to $30,829 in 2025. Among sports medicine clinicians in CA 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.
