Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.8% of the total across 160 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 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $988 and has fallen 95.0% since, to $50 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $3,881.
Across 160 payments — averaging $18.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
