Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (43.1%), travel and lodging and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 81.1% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $25,833 and has fallen 79.6% since, to $5,259 in 2025. Among family clinicians in FL 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 355 payments — averaging $127.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
