Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.2% of the total across 229 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 20 manufacturers reported payments, led by UCB, Inc. at 37.9% of the total. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,739, 8.1 times the $215 reported in 2021. Among family clinicians in FL 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 229 payments — averaging $19.43 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
