Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.1% of the total across 158 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 32 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $815 and has fallen 59.8% since, to $328 in 2025.

Who reported the general payments

Companies are grouped under their corporate parent — a single manufacturer often files under several CMS reporting entities. Research and ownership payments are counted separately and are not in this table.

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.
