Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 2 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. AstraZeneca accounts for 89.5% of it on its own, with 1 other manufacturer making up the rest. That places this record below the midpoint for family medicine clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $232.
Across 2 payments — averaging $68.03 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- AstraZeneca$122
- Boston Scientific$14
Across 1 payment — averaging $7,875,000 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Novo Nordisk$7.9M
What the payments were for
- Food & beverage$136100%
Most of this is food and beverage — typically meals provided during product presentations at a clinic or hospital. Nationally that is the single largest category of reported payments by count.
General payments by program year
Who reported the general payments
Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.
| Company | Payments | Total |
|---|---|---|
| AstraZeneca | 1 | $122 |
| Boston Scientific | 1 | $14 |
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.
- CALQUENCE$122
How this compares
$136 in reported general payments places this provider in the 35th percentile of 10,533 family medicine providers in California.
