Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.0% of the total across 282 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 30 manufacturers reported payments, led by Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. at 35.7% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $3,145 and has fallen 88.1% since, to $376 in 2024. Among family clinicians in MS 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 282 payments — averaging $23.15 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
