Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $65,046 of the $66,133 with a category attached, or 98.4%. Pfizer accounts for 62.9% of it on its own, with 7 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $15,121 and has fallen 98.0% since, to $303 in 2025.
