Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 125 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $939 and has fallen 95.1% since, to $46 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for neurology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $2,246.
Across 125 payments — averaging $14.36 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
