Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (37.8%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 55.5% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,944 and has fallen 98.7% since, to $26 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in NE 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 37 payments — averaging $93.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
