Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.8% of the total across 205 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 38.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,395 and has fallen 86.1% since, to $194 in 2025. Among family clinicians in MD 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 205 payments — averaging $16.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
