Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,745 of the $5,002 with a category attached, or 74.9%. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novo Nordisk at 41.6% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,304 and has fallen 79.2% since, to $271 in 2025. Among family medicine clinicians in NC 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 230 payments — averaging $21.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
