Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 3 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Biogen accounts for 74.1% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. 2024 is the largest year on record at $44, 2.1 times the $21 reported in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for family clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $350.
Across 3 payments — averaging $26.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
