Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $7,058 of the $8,932 with a category attached, or 79.0%. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $3,324 and has fallen 98.2% since, to $61 in 2024. Among psychiatry 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.
