Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 160 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Viiv Healthcare Company at 43.7% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,280, more than ten times the $75 reported in 2021.
Across 160 payments — averaging $26.13 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

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.
