Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (50.9%), speaking fees and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Corium, LLC accounts for 61.0% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,856 and has fallen 88.1% since, to $221 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in LA 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 104 payments — averaging $31.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
