What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.3% of the total across 14 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Abbott at 33.9% of the total. That places this record below the midpoint for family medicine clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $424.
Across 14 payments — averaging $32.10 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Abbott | 4 | $153 |
| Medtronic | 1 | $104 |
| Pfizer | 6 | $98 |
| AstraZeneca | 1 | $56 |
| E.r. Squibb & Sons, L.L.C. | 1 | $22 |
| Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. | 1 | $17 |
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.
- Claria MRI$104
