Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 79 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 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 79 payments — averaging $27.13 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Across 12 payments — averaging $17,032 each. Payments tied to a research study. These frequently flow through the physician to a hospital or research institution rather than to the physician personally.
