Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 94 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 17 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,425 and has fallen 97.7% since, to $33 in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for urology clinicians in CA, where the typical reported total is $2,485.
Across 94 payments — averaging $18.48 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
