Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (49.6%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 92.5% of it on its own, with 24 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $109,597, more than ten times the $4,060 reported in 2019. Among internal medicine 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 420 payments — averaging $620.11 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
