Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 1 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. Every reported general payment came from a single manufacturer, Pfizer. That places this record below the midpoint for pulmonary disease clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $3,696.
Across 1 payment — averaging $17.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
- Pfizer$17
Across 9 payments — averaging $181,938 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
- Pfizer$1.6M
