Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $24,000 of the $27,176 with a category attached, or 88.3%. AbbVie accounts for 94.2% of it on its own, with 19 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $9,942 and has fallen 97.3% since, to $267 in 2025. Among dermatology clinicians in NV 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 158 payments — averaging $172.00 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
