Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (37.9%), consulting fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Novo Nordisk Health Care AG accounts for 61.1% of it on its own, with 6 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $12,805 and has fallen 99.9% since, to $14 in 2025. Among pediatric endocrinology clinicians in NY 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 16 payments — averaging $1718.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
