Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by food and beverage: $12,246 of the $18,126 with a category attached, or 67.6%. 53 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 34.0% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $7,723, 2.4 times the $3,155 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in MO with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
