Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by food and beverage: $3,118 of the $4,582 with a category attached, or 68.1%. 22 manufacturers reported payments, led by Boston Scientific at 42.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $3,011 and has fallen 98.1% since, to $57 in 2025. Among family clinicians in FL 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.
Across 138 payments — averaging $33.21 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
