Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (47.8%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 29.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $5,432, more than ten times the $115 reported in 2020. That places this record below the midpoint for interventional cardiology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $8,581.
Across 71 payments — averaging $128.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
