Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,753 of the $4,547 with a category attached, or 82.5%. It is spread thinly across 30 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $1,914 and has fallen 75.0% since, to $479 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in CT 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 182 payments — averaging $24.99 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
