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. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, AbbVie. That places this record below the midpoint for internal medicine clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $316.
Across 2 payments — averaging $25.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- AbbVie$51
Across 466 payments — averaging $7551.41 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.
