Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.5% of the total across 172 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 30 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $878 and has fallen 65.1% since, to $306 in 2025. Among pediatric pulmonology clinicians in LA 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 172 payments — averaging $27.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
