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.
Across 19 payments — averaging $853.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
