Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.0% of the total across 499 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 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $2,265 and has fallen 99.2% since, to $19 in 2022.
Across 499 payments — averaging $12.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
