Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $112,700 of the $158,167 with a category attached, or 71.3%. Gilead accounts for 95.6% of it on its own, with 2 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $81,719 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $151 in 2023. Among infectious disease clinicians in TX 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.

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
