Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $2,679 of the $3,817 with a category attached, or 70.2%. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 29.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,273, 8.1 times the $280 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 134 payments — averaging $28.48 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
