Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (59.6%), travel and lodging and speaking fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Corcept Therapeutics accounts for 90.9% of it on its own, with 23 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $114,677 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $101 in 2025. Among endocrinology, diabetes & metabolism clinicians in AZ 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 299 payments — averaging $474.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
