Reporting peaked in 2024 at $846 and has fallen 52.3% since, to $403 in 2025.
Across 180 payments — averaging $22.39 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
