Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,560 of the $5,550 with a category attached, or 64.1%. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC at 40.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $2,706 and has fallen 74.3% since, to $696 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in NY 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 192 payments — averaging $28.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
