Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 74 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by AstraZeneca at 25.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,125 and has fallen 57.3% since, to $480 in 2023. Among obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in PA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 74 payments — averaging $49.90 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
