Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,668 of the $4,932 with a category attached, or 74.4%. 31 manufacturers reported payments, led by Alcon at 25.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,938, 2.7 times the $709 reported in 2019. Among pediatrics clinicians in NY 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 129 payments — averaging $38.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
