Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows

It is spread thinly across 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,664 and has fallen 98.6% since, to $23 in 2024.
Across 165 payments — averaging $16.62 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
