Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $15,046 of the $18,352 with a category attached, or 82.0%. It is spread thinly across 30 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $7,203 and has fallen 92.3% since, to $551 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in TN 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 474 payments — averaging $38.72 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
