Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $83,551 of the $104,015 with a category attached, or 80.3%. Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. accounts for 72.1% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $35,320, 7.9 times the $4,485 reported in 2019. Among pain medicine clinicians in DE 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.
