Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.9% of the total across 350 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,792 and has fallen 59.6% since, to $724 in 2021. Among physical medicine & rehabilitation 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 350 payments — averaging $11.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
