Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 172 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Neos Therapeutics, LP at 46.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $973 and has fallen 72.3% since, to $270 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in MD 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 172 payments — averaging $16.83 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
