Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 91.7% of the total across 12 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 4 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sanofi at 42.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $190 and has fallen 76.2% since, to $45 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for pediatric gastroenterology clinicians in PR, where the typical reported total is $1,322.
Across 12 payments — averaging $37.12 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Sanofi | 3 | $190 |
| AbbVie | 6 | $186 |
| Boston Scientific | 2 | $45 |
| Johnson & Johnson | 1 | $24 |
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.
How this compares
$445 in reported general payments places this provider in the 30th percentile of 23 pediatric gastroenterology providers in Puerto Rico.
