Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.2% of the total across 185 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 17 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 34.2% of the total. Among anesthesiology clinicians in VA 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 185 payments — averaging $16.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
