Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $8,295 of the $9,648 with a category attached, or 86.0%. 10 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 38.5% of the total. Among acute care 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.
Across 185 payments — averaging $52.15 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
