Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.7% of the total across 87 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. AbbVie accounts for 62.1% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $811 and has fallen 71.3% since, to $233 in 2025.
Across 87 payments — averaging $25.40 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.
