Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.7% of the total across 76 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 23 manufacturers reported payments, led by AbbVie at 24.2% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $292, 3.7 times the $80 reported in 2019. Among hospice and palliative medicine clinicians in MD 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 76 payments — averaging $19.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
