Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $9,771 of the $11,614 with a category attached, or 84.1%. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 39.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $4,658, 6.4 times the $730 reported in 2021. Among acute care clinicians in NJ 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.
Across 201 payments — averaging $57.78 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
