Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $13,090 of the $18,319 with a category attached, or 71.5%. Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC accounts for 87.8% of it on its own, with 22 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $16,105 and has fallen 95.4% since, to $735 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in DC 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.
