Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $416,032 of the $494,250 with a category attached, or 84.2%. Merck accounts for 99.6% of it on its own, with 15 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $271,834 and has fallen 89.7% since, to $28,018 in 2025. Among nurse practitioner clinicians in FL 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 1,018 payments — averaging $485.51 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
