Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $167,720 of the $262,787 with a category attached, or 63.8%. Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. accounts for 90.2% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $81,905 and has fallen 99.5% since, to $398 in 2025. Among pediatric hematology-oncology clinicians in MD 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.

Who reported the general payments

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
