Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (53.1%), travel and lodging and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Medtronic at 39.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $6,263 and has fallen 81.5% since, to $1,159 in 2025. Among acute care clinicians in FL 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 184 payments — averaging $69.41 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
