Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (55.0%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Takeda Pharmaceuticals U.S.A., Inc. accounts for 75.4% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $43,260 and has fallen 87.9% since, to $5,255 in 2025. Among allergy & immunology clinicians in LA 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 233 payments — averaging $644.86 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
