Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.4% of the total across 234 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,863 and has fallen 97.9% since, to $40 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in LA, where the typical reported total is $8,351.
Across 234 payments — averaging $18.36 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
