Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.8% of the total across 178 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 15 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 31.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,305 and has fallen 93.1% since, to $91 in 2023. Among nurse practitioner clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 178 payments — averaging $14.31 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
