Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (39.6%), consulting fees and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 40 manufacturers reported payments, led by Duchesnay USA Incorporated at 29.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $8,844 and has fallen 95.8% since, to $369 in 2024. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in TX 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 232 payments — averaging $54.63 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
