Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by other: $1,995 of the $2,721 with a category attached, or 73.3%. Welch Allyn accounts for 73.3% of it on its own, with 16 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $2,073 and has fallen 92.0% since, to $166 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in TX with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 39 payments — averaging $69.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
