Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,238 of the $4,260 with a category attached, or 76.0%. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Edwards Lifesciences at 34.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,232 and has fallen 74.4% since, to $571 in 2025. Among family clinicians in CA 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 122 payments — averaging $34.92 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.
