Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.9% of the total across 112 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $467 and has fallen 74.2% since, to $121 in 2025. Among hospitalist clinicians in MS 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 112 payments — averaging $18.54 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
