Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.4% of the total across 104 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 104 payments — averaging $27.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Johnson & Johnson$430
- Sanofi$332
- Mirum Pharmaceuticals, Inc.$329
- Regeneron Healthcare Solutions, Inc.$307
- QOL Medical, LLC$234
- Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc.$214
- plus $964 from 18 others
Across 3 payments — averaging $500.00 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Janssen Research & Development, LLC$2K
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$2,76498%
- Education$462%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments

What the payments were tied to
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.
How this compares
