Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.8% of the total across 172 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Corium, LLC at 32.4% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,056, 2.4 times the $442 reported in 2022. Among pediatrics 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 172 payments — averaging $17.57 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
