Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.9% of the total across 181 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 24 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 36.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,590 and has fallen 99.1% since, to $14 in 2022. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in GA, where the typical reported total is $3,907.
Across 181 payments — averaging $18.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
