What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.6% of the total across 91 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 24.3% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,663, more than ten times the $101 reported in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in KY, where the typical reported total is $3,388.
