Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $30,300 of the $38,597 with a category attached, or 78.5%. Amgen accounts for 97.0% of it on its own, with 14 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $21,358 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $15 in 2025. Among nephrology clinicians in TX 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 117 payments — averaging $329.89 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
