Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — travel and lodging (54.5%), food and beverage and education — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 46.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,435 and has fallen 92.2% since, to $346 in 2025. Among pediatric cardiology clinicians in AL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 99 payments — averaging $62.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
