Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.7% of the total across 276 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,692 and has fallen 55.3% since, to $756 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for allergy & immunology clinicians in FL, where the typical reported total is $5,220.
Across 276 payments — averaging $18.79 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
