Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,688 of the $3,495 with a category attached, or 76.9%. 31 manufacturers reported payments, led by Biohaven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 31.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,280 and has fallen 94.7% since, to $122 in 2025. Among nurse practitioner clinicians in VA 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.
