Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.2% of the total across 168 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by Johnson & Johnson at 28.2% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $811 and has fallen 93.6% since, to $52 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in MS, where the typical reported total is $3,535.
Across 168 payments — averaging $16.17 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
