Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $4,340 of the $5,998 with a category attached, or 72.4%. Boston Scientific accounts for 61.7% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $2,343 and has fallen 71.4% since, to $670 in 2025. Among family clinicians in CO 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 85 payments — averaging $70.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
