Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 152 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,164 and has fallen 96.1% since, to $45 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in NY, where the typical reported total is $1,764.
Across 152 payments — averaging $11.91 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
