Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 10 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $173 and has fallen 51.0% since, to $85 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for optometrist clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $813.
