Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.8% of the total across 145 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 18.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,940 and has fallen 98.1% since, to $37 in 2021. Among geriatric medicine clinicians in NY 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 145 payments — averaging $16.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
