Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,637 of the $4,677 with a category attached, or 77.8%. 25 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 38.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,414 and has fallen 98.8% since, to $16 in 2024. Among dermatology clinicians in VT 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 180 payments — averaging $25.98 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
