Has Jeffrey Rich received payments from drug or device companies?

Does a payment mean Jeffrey Rich did something wrong?

No. Federal law requires drug and device makers to report almost every transfer of value to a physician, including a $14 sandwich at a lunch presentation. Consulting fees, research funding and royalties to device inventors are ordinary, legal parts of medicine. This site reports what was disclosed; it makes no allegation.

Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (48.6%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 14 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 42.0% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,200 and has fallen 68.2% since, to $1,018 in 2025. Among optometrist clinicians in CA 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.
