Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 105 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Merz North America, Inc. accounts for 61.4% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,934, 3.3 times the $579 reported in 2021. Among adult health clinicians in NY with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 105 payments — averaging $52.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
