Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 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, Merck. That places this record below the midpoint for pediatrics clinicians in DC, where the typical reported total is $115.
Across 2 payments — averaging $19.29 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Merck$39
Across 23 payments — averaging $33,838 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.
- GSK$778K
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$39100%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Merck | 2 | $39 |
