Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 131 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 30.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,742, more than ten times the $23 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in VA 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 131 payments — averaging $32.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
