Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (50.1%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Eli Lilly at 51.6% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $16,719, 4.8 times the $3,476 reported in 2019. Among family medicine 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.

What the payments were tied to

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.
