Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (58.5%), travel and lodging and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Novartis accounts for 95.0% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $18,684 and has fallen 99.4% since, to $119 in 2025. Among neurology with special qualifications in child neurology clinicians in NY 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.
