Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — speaking fees (59.5%), food and beverage and consulting fees — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 27 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sanofi at 44.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $9,706 and has fallen 96.5% since, to $340 in 2023. Among sleep medicine clinicians in PA 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 109 payments — averaging $209.24 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

What the payments were tied to
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.
