Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 85 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 42.5% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $419, 3.2 times the $132 reported in 2019. Among pediatrics clinicians in SC 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 85 payments — averaging $22.21 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
