Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

This record is dominated by speaking fees: $224,395 of the $287,152 with a category attached, or 78.1%. AbbVie accounts for 76.0% of it on its own, with 11 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $98,539 and has fallen 58.2% since, to $41,204 in 2025. Among rheumatology clinicians in NV 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.
