Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (37.2%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Vertex accounts for 94.8% of it on its own, with 9 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $23,995 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $45 in 2025. Among pediatric pulmonology 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 63 payments — averaging $1025.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
