Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (51.1%), speaking fees and food and beverage — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 6 manufacturers reported payments, led by Novartis at 51.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,596 and has fallen 90.2% since, to $255 in 2025. Among pediatric rheumatology clinicians in NY 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 10 payments — averaging $508.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

General payments by program year

What the payments were tied to
Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
