Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $67,650 of the $93,420 with a category attached, or 72.4%. AbbVie accounts for 71.1% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $28,567 and has fallen 94.1% since, to $1,677 in 2025. Among dermatology clinicians in CA 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 353 payments — averaging $264.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
