Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (56.7%), food and beverage and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. Sanofi accounts for 82.9% of it on its own, with 27 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $18,300, more than ten times the $813 reported in 2021. Among pediatrics clinicians in TX 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 378 payments — averaging $126.72 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
