Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (47.2%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 44.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $180,394, 7.4 times the $24,499 reported in 2019. Among pediatric infectious diseases clinicians in CO 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 277 payments — averaging $1915.70 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
