Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.7% of the total across 163 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 31 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,338 and has fallen 82.1% since, to $420 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in CA 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 163 payments — averaging $22.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
