Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $28,257 of the $44,231 with a category attached, or 63.9%. Sanofi-aventis U.S. LLC accounts for 81.4% of it on its own, with 29 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $18,094, more than ten times the $584 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in AR 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.
Across 420 payments — averaging $105.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
