Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — education (59.5%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Intuitive Surgical accounts for 63.7% of it on its own, with 23 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $3,773 and has fallen 89.2% since, to $408 in 2025. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in CA 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.
Across 95 payments — averaging $58.79 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
