Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.1% of the total across 118 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $672 and has fallen 85.5% since, to $97 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in MI, where the typical reported total is $1,854.
Across 118 payments — averaging $17.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
