Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (43.3%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by Insulet Corporation at 50.5% of the total. Among pediatrics clinicians in TX 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.
