Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,346 of the $5,146 with a category attached, or 84.5%. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,917 and has fallen 73.4% since, to $510 in 2022. Among internal medicine clinicians in MA 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 222 payments — averaging $23.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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.
