Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $15,214 of the $19,050 with a category attached, or 79.9%. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 38.8% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $6,790, 6.2 times the $1,100 reported in 2019. Among plastic and reconstructive surgery clinicians in TX 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 154 payments — averaging $123.70 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
