Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 3 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Novo Nordisk accounts for 71.2% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for family medicine clinicians in AZ, where the typical reported total is $231.
Across 3 payments — averaging $14.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Novo Nordisk$30
- Phadia US Inc.$12
Across 251 payments — averaging $3376.34 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
