Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 134 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,248 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $15 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for allergy & immunology clinicians in AR, where the typical reported total is $3,878.
Across 134 payments — averaging $17.06 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
