Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,550 of the $6,239 with a category attached, or 89.0%. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by AstraZeneca at 25.1% of the total. Among hospitalist clinicians in LA 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 149 payments — averaging $41.87 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.
