Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 94.1% of the total across 90 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 25.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,425, more than ten times the $17 reported in 2021.
Across 90 payments — averaging $18.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
