Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (55.6%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Bristol Myers Squibb accounts for 67.6% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $36,460 and has fallen 99.3% since, to $239 in 2022. Among rheumatology clinicians in WA 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.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

What the payments were tied to

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.

How this compares

$47,498 in reported general payments places this provider in the 90th percentile of 157 rheumatology providers in Washington.
