Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $18,071 of the $21,477 with a category attached, or 84.1%. 29 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 26.8% of the total. Among physician assistant clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
