Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (48.4%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Medtronic accounts for 73.6% of it on its own, with 17 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $32,941 and has fallen 82.3% since, to $5,845 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in CA 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.

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.
