Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $19,320 of the $27,117 with a category attached, or 71.2%. ZOLL Medical Corporation accounts for 93.7% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $14,471 and has fallen 88.7% since, to $1,642 in 2025. Among emergency medicine clinicians in TX 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.
