Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.5% of the total across 150 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 28 manufacturers reported payments, led by UCB, Inc. at 31.7% of the total. Among pediatrics clinicians in TN 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 150 payments — averaging $32.04 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
