Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $6,042 of the $6,931 with a category attached, or 87.2%. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among acute care clinicians in AZ 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.
Across 99 payments — averaging $70.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
