Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $74,711 of the $82,686 with a category attached, or 90.4%. Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. accounts for 85.6% of it on its own, with 5 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $53,621 and has fallen 99.8% since, to $101 in 2025. Among pediatric endocrinology clinicians in CA 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.

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.
