Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.1%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Abbott accounts for 78.9% of it on its own, with 13 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $32,533 and has fallen 64.1% since, to $11,694 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology 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 241 payments — averaging $468.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
