Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (57.6%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Biomarin Pharmaceutical Inc. accounts for 80.2% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $48,814, 2.8 times the $17,343 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in MA 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.

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.
