Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (33.0%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 13 manufacturers reported payments, led by Vertos Medical, Inc. at 32.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $20,437 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $27 in 2024. Among physician assistant 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 321 payments — averaging $128.94 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
