Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (53.0%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation Inc. accounts for 63.2% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $15,586 and has fallen 89.5% since, to $1,643 in 2025. Among plastic surgery 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 186 payments — averaging $125.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
