Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 3 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Gilead accounts for 86.6% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest.
Across 3 payments — averaging $53.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Gilead$140
- Viiv Healthcare Company$22
Across 39 payments — averaging $54,189 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.
- Partner Therapeutics, Inc.$2.1M
- H. Lundbeck A S$31K
