Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (56.6%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Vertex accounts for 83.6% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $28,345 and has fallen 79.9% since, to $5,710 in 2025. Among pediatric pulmonology clinicians in MA 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.

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.
