Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $12,899 of the $14,478 with a category attached, or 89.1%. It is spread thinly across 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $3,640, 4.3 times the $841 reported in 2019. Among optometrist clinicians in GA 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 243 payments — averaging $59.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
