What this record shows

This record is dominated by consulting fees: $1,429,988 of the $1,449,068 with a category attached, or 98.7%. 5 manufacturers reported payments, led by Pfizer at 54.8% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $329,862 and has fallen 90.6% since, to $31,023 in 2025. Among rheumatology clinicians in MA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.

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.
