Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,616 of the $2,915 with a category attached, or 89.7%. It is spread thinly across 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,828 and has fallen 99.5% since, to $15 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in GA 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 155 payments — averaging $18.81 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
