Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 127 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 36.1% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,099 and has fallen 51.3% since, to $535 in 2025. Among advanced practice midwife clinicians in CA 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 127 payments — averaging $24.00 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
