What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $66,825 of the $72,467 with a category attached, or 92.2%. Avid Radiopharmaceuticals, Inc. accounts for 75.9% of it on its own, with 3 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2023 is the largest year on record at $57,825, more than ten times the $1,028 reported in 2019. Among endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism clinicians in WA 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.
