Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 5 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Pfizer. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $1,764.
Across 5 payments — averaging $4.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Pfizer$21
Across 29 payments — averaging $28,733 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Pfizer$725K
- Astrazeneca UK Limited$97K
- UCB SA$8K
- Sanofi US Services Inc.$3K
