Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $124,650 of the $149,906 with a category attached, or 83.2%. Medtronic accounts for 99.7% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $96,969 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $140 in 2023. Among pediatric endocrinology clinicians in CA 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.
