Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (46.5%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Rhythm Pharmaceuticals, Inc. accounts for 99.5% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $12,262 and has fallen 79.7% since, to $2,489 in 2024. Among pediatric endocrinology clinicians in WA 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 23 payments — averaging $1019.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Who reported the general payments

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.
