Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 1 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, AbbVie.
Across 1 payment — averaging $26.88 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- AbbVie$27
Across 97 payments — averaging $13,039 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.
- Modernatx, Inc.$1.3M
- Pfizer$9K
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$27100%
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.
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| AbbVie | 1 | $27 |
