Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (48.7%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by Kyowa Kirin, Inc. at 28.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $7,940 and has fallen 61.1% since, to $3,089 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 197 payments — averaging $72.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
