Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (47.0%), consulting fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by Noven Therapeutics, LLC at 49.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $5,526 and has fallen 99.2% since, to $45 in 2024. Among internal medicine clinicians in VA 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.
Across 38 payments — averaging $229.46 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
