Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (48.1%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by Genentech USA, Inc. at 59.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $4,989 and has fallen 95.2% since, to $240 in 2025. Among pediatric pulmonology clinicians in MO 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 202 payments — averaging $47.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
