Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (54.6%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc. at 29.9% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $29,935, more than ten times the $1,899 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in FL 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 484 payments — averaging $130.80 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
