Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $5,307 of the $8,372 with a category attached, or 63.4%. 19 manufacturers reported payments, led by Edwards Lifesciences at 53.1% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $4,860, more than ten times the $88 reported in 2021. Among surgical clinicians in TX 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.
Across 84 payments — averaging $99.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
