Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (46.6%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by BTG International Inc. at 57.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $5,400, more than ten times the $25 reported in 2021. Among gerontology 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 110 payments — averaging $74.10 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
