Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 305 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 26 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 27.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $3,026 and has fallen 95.0% since, to $151 in 2025. Among gerontology clinicians in CA 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 305 payments — averaging $20.95 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
