Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (56.9%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited accounts for 66.2% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $13,775, more than ten times the $56 reported in 2019. Among pediatrics 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.

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

$16,218 in reported general payments places this provider in the 95th percentile of 5,539 pediatrics providers in California.
