Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $490,546 of the $575,968 with a category attached, or 85.2%. AbbVie accounts for 99.6% of it on its own, with 4 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $203,927 and has fallen 80.2% since, to $40,283 in 2025. Among physician assistant clinicians in TN 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 820 payments — averaging $702.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
