Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.5% of the total across 127 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $921 and has fallen 96.9% since, to $29 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for cardiovascular disease clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $2,774.
Across 127 payments — averaging $19.12 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
