Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $79,710 of the $93,262 with a category attached, or 85.5%. Abbott accounts for 92.6% of it on its own, with 8 other manufacturers making up the rest. Among cardiovascular disease clinicians in CA 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 441 payments — averaging $211.48 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
