Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $9,306 of the $11,924 with a category attached, or 78.0%. It is spread thinly across 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among family clinicians in KY 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 349 payments — averaging $34.17 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
