Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (44.5%), education and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 29 manufacturers reported payments, led by Intuitive Surgical at 55.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $2,095, more than ten times the $115 reported in 2019. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in FL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 161 payments — averaging $40.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
