Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (59.5%), travel and lodging and grants — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 12 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 31.0% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $5,973, more than ten times the $428 reported in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for clinical cardiac electrophysiology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $26,911.
Across 159 payments — averaging $87.06 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
